INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE IT'S ABOUT PEOPLE 2024–2025: Education and Mental Health: Peer-Reviewed Proceedings Book

Peer-Reviewed Proceedings Book Education and Mental Health from It's About People international scholarly conference production examines the vital relationship between learning and psychological well-being in a world marked by uncertainty, digital overload, and social transformation. It approaches education not merely as the transmission of knowledge but as a process of shaping the human being, fostering inner stability, empathy, and ethical awareness in times of growing mental distress.

Drawing on interdisciplinary research presented at the It's About People conference, the volume explores how pedagogy, psychology, technology, and philosophy converge to address the challenges of the digital age. Twenty contributions from 2024 and 2025 highlight topics such as youth mental health, mindfulness, the role of sleep in learning, the impact of family dynamics, and the ethical implications of artificial intelligence in education.

At its core, the volume (edited by Dr Sebastjan Kristovič and Dr Polonca Serrano) advocates for a profoundly human education. It calls for pedagogical and therapeutic practices that cultivate dignity, compassion, and self-reflection, essential for maintaining mental balance and meaning in contemporary society. Through its diverse perspectives, Education and Mental Health reaffirms that actual progress in education lies not only in technological innovation but in nurturing the emotional and moral integrity of the individual.
