This study sought to identify Indian students' perceptions of teacher‐level and…

“It’s Something That We All Need to Know”
Young people expressed concern about their mental health before COVID-19, and these concerns have escalated in response to the pandemic. A lack of knowledge, stigma and unfamiliarity with how to seek help contribute to low self-efficacy in mental health care. There is a need for school settings to include mental health education, or mental health literacy (MHL), to address youth mental health needs. Evaluation of school-based MHL programs often o…

The approach is based on a model that integrates a university-based and school-based curriculum to promote collaborative partnerships through an arrangement that involve…
Developing and Initially Validating the Youth Mental Health Literacy Scale for Ages 11–14
Despite rising rates of youth mental health disorders and suicides, most youth lack access to accurate, non-stigmatized mental health information.

It assumes that youth that have accurate mental health information will have less stigmatized views of mental illness and will be more likely to seek help earlier should m…
The school of our dreams’
Schools are one of the most important social-geographic sites where children’s lives play out. Although researchers have sought to understand children’s school experiences in India, very few have considered marginalised children’s opinions regarding what they value and the alternatives to their current school experiences. Consequently, this article draws on the voices of 10 marginalised children (11-13 years) as co-researchers from a remote publi…

Bridging gaps between theory and practice of inclusion through an innovative partnership between university academics and school educators in Australia
Universities often struggle to translate theory of inclusive education into real life practices for pre-service teachers (PSTs). In this paper, we evaluate an innovative partnership between Australian secondary school teachers and university academics where they co-designed and co-taught an undergraduate inclusive education course. We used a quasi-experimental design where 67 PSTs were grouped into two cohorts: one co-taught by the team of school…
