Wellbeing of Students in the Kingdom of Bahrain

By January 24, 2021 Blog

The corona outbreak has a strong negative impact on the (mental) health and well-being of the population. People experienced more anxiety, stress, anger and fear at the start of the outbreak of corona compared to before the outbreak.

For students the corona outbreak implied rapid changes in their personal lives as well as their student life. D3 Consultants surveyed on students’ well-being so schools can gather actionable data to understand their experience and deliver resources focused on self-care and social-emotional learning.

From a student perspective, measuring well-being can give students an opportunity to share their inner aspirations and to seek help. Ultimately, the survey results can lead to interventions and coping strategies that improve something students value highly: their own happiness.

Measuring student health and wellness can contribute to a “whole child” educational approach and signal to students and their families that you take mental health concerns seriously.

On behalf of our entire community, we thank you for your engagement in and support of this important work.
