Mental health literacy and its relationship with suicidal tendencies mediated by social support in students: a school-based study

Based on the findings of this study, the importance of integrating mental health literacy into curricula, establishing peer support networks, and strengthening family-school collaboration within existing frameworks such as the WHO Action Plan is emphasized. Furthermore, these results may provide a foundation for developing localized guidelines aimed at enhancing mental health literacy and social support in schools; however, longitudinal and intervention studies are necessary to confirm the effectiveness of these recommendations.
