The Impact of Mental Health Challenges on Students’ Access to Learning: Mental health challenges can significantly impact students’ access to and participation in learning, leading to behaviors inconsistent with school or program requirements. Researchers in educational psychology and social sciences study the effects of mental health challenges on students’ educational experiences using statistical research methods. They employ surveys, interviews, and statistical analyses to explore the prevalence and impact of mental health challenges on students’ academic performance, attendance, and engagement. These studies help identify strategies and interventions that can support students with mental health challenges, ensuring their full inclusion and participation in educational settings.
