The initiatives aim to evaluate mental conditions, foster a sense of security, and facilitate a proper return to learning and school life. General students met with advisory teachers for basic mental health evaluations, while targeted students participated in psychological safety activities including physical relaxation, communicating feelings, building hope, and establishing relational connections. Specialist teams also provided individual counseling for students requiring specific assistance.
Student Mental Health Screening Results and Categorization
Screening and mental health evaluations conducted thus far covered 3,096 students, with results categorized into three distinct levels. The first group consists of normal students who can live and learn normally, with a focus on mental health promotion and appropriate follow-up. The second group comprises at-risk students who require close monitoring to prevent their mental health conditions from worsening. The third group involves high-risk students vulnerable to mental health problems, who receive individualized care and direct referrals to mental health services managed by specialist teams for appropriate and continuous support.

Long-Term Support Systems and Digital Integration
The department established measures covering prevention, promotion, care, referral, and the creation of connected systems.
These steps support heart-strengthening activities and bullying prevention under the framework of warm families, safe schools, and quality Thai children. The framework connects operations among schools, families, school psychologists, guidance teachers, HERO Consultants, and mental health service systems to ensure timely and continuous care access.
Expert Insight: As noted by Department of Mental Health leadership, addressing school-based trauma requires sustained institutional frameworks rather than short-term interventions. By integrating digital screening tools like HERO OBEC Care with specialized referral networks, educational institutions may bridge the gap between initial crisis response and long-term psychological rehabilitation.
