Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In a period marked by global uncertainties, increased attention is needed for the mental health of our youth. We invite researchers from different areas to contribute to this second edition of this Special Issue. Awareness is crucial, with self-monitoring strategies playing a significant role. We seek to explore and understand different variables influencing the mental well-being of the next generation.
In this second edition, we welcome contributions that delve into the mental health of not only children, but also adolescents and college students. We aim to comprehensively investigate the various aspects impacting their well-being, recognizing the unique challenges faced by people at these ages. We encourage the use of multiple research methods, respondents and contexts to gain a holistic understanding of the mental health landscape. We anticipate insightful contributions that shed light on the multifaceted aspects of mental health of the youth and college student population.
