Well-being in schools: a driving force for educational success

An emerging concept, positive mental health, according to the Corey Keyes model, goes beyond the absence of mental disorders to include psychological and emotional well-being. Positive mental health focuses on individual fulfillment, combining life satisfaction and optimal functioning. Applied to the school environment, cultivating positive mental health becomes imperative. It’s everyone’s business: teaching staff, students, parents.

By fostering a positive, empathetic and balanced environment, centers can not only prevent mental health problems, but also promote the overall development of learners. Thus, positive mental health becomes an essential collective responsibility within the educational community.
