Understanding Youth Wellbeing and its link with Academic Success
- Today’s youth navigate through a myriad of challenges, from the looming threat of climate change to navigating intricate family dynamics, all of which profoundly impact their overall wellbeing.
- A study by Cardenas et al (2022) explored the intricate relationship between youth mental health and academic performance. The findings shed light on a crucial correlation: enhanced wellbeing among students not only fosters personal growth but also significantly predicts higher test scores months down the line. With a robust dataset encompassing 3400 high school students, the study unequivocally demonstrated that lower levels of depression directly correlate with superior academic outcomes.
