The Role of Mental Health in the Prevention of School Massacres: Public Health Strategies and Inclusive Education

Abstract

The increase in school massacres in the last decade has raised global concern about the relationship between mental health and the prevention of these events. This article examines how public health and inclusive education strategies can contribute to mitigating the risk of violent acts in the school environment. Based on a multidisciplinary approach, preventive programs, psychological interventions and the role of educational personnel in the early identification of warning signs are analyzed. The findings suggest that an integrated education system with accessible mental health policies is critical to reducing school violence.
