Abstract

The chapter aims to identify planned and attained educational functions and measures taken to address mental health issues in Poland. These will be studied from two perspectives: macro, policy of education in Poland (analysis of educational reports, law on education), and micro, the experiences of young people who have experienced a mental health crisis while in education. By using an interpretative paradigm, first, the authors identified planned functions by analysing the international and national education policy towards mental health issues. Then, they identified to what extent these functions have been successfully attained by analysing 12 autobiographical narrative interviews with people aged between 19 and 25, who experienced mental health problems during their education. The research results will be presented in the form of the school tasks presented in official documents that best illustrate the steps being taken towards prevention in the field of mental health as well as providing support for students with mental health issues.
