Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Mental health is becoming a major concern in a number of fields, among other factors, due to the recent global pandemic. This has led to the intensification of existing health, economic and social problems, placing vulnerable groups in the spotlight in general, and students at risk in particular. Specifically, at-risk students are adolescents who are less likely to transition successfully into adulthood and achieve economic self-sufficiency. Characteristics of at-risk students include emotional or behavioral problems, truancy, low academic performance, etc. Looking at the essence of the individual, we find that factors such as personality, acquired skills, environment or (dis)ability are often associated with the label "students at risk". This Special Issue is looking for research that examines the causes, factors or consequences that justify and clarify this vulnerable group. We are also looking for studies that provide answers to the problems that affect these students from a perspective of improvement.
