Mental health is a critical factor affecting learning, behavior, and overall well-being in children. This study examines the integration of mental health support within primary education in Norway, focusing on multidisciplinary strategies that combine educational, psychological, and social approaches. Data were collected from 12 schools, involving 300 students, 50 teachers, and school counselors. Surveys, interviews, and classroom observations were used to assess the effectiveness of mental health programs. Results show improvements in student emotional regulation, classroom behavior, and academic engagement. The study highlights the importance of teacher training, school counseling programs, and collaborative policies in promoting student mental health. Recommendations for holistic and scalable mental health interventions in schools are provided.
