Abstract

This case study explores the mental health challenges faced by students at Joypurhat Girls' Cadet College (JGCC) in Bangladesh, where 326 cadet students live without family support, leading to issues like homesickness, study stress, and exam phobia, which sometimes result in severe outcomes such as suicide attempts. Despite the critical need for mental health support, the college lacks dedicated professionals, reflecting the broader national issue of inadequate mental healthcare in rural areas. The study proposes an intervention model centered on Mental Health Literacy (MHL), aimed at raising awareness among teachers, students, and parents. By establishing a supportive school culture through professional learning communities (PLCs) and providing training for stakeholders, the initiative seeks to reduce stigma and improve access to mental health support. Regular monitoring and collaborative efforts are emphasized to ensure continuous improvement in mental health awareness, helping students improve their well-being, motivation, and academic performance. The study underscores the importance of MHL programs and participatory action research in creating a sustainable and positive school environment that supports students' mental health.
