Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rising tensions in US politics, the COVID-19 Pandemic, and other national and local concerns are exacerbating mental health issues in children and young adults. As a result, mental health issues are having a greater effect on student learning at the K-12 and postgraduate levels. This special issue will explore the psychological challenges our students face due to recent world and local events and how they have been affecting students’ educational experiences, broadly defined.
