Summary/Abstract: The issue of education, especially nowadays, raises many questions regarding its role in school, at home, in society as well as the ability of the educational process to keep up with the unprecedented changes in society, in human life in general. The leap of scientific knowledge has caused an unprecedented evolution of technology, which has entered human life with the aim of improving important aspects, but we also see its negative impact in many ways. The values of the past seem to be somehow overtaken by the new social challenges! Time has become a precious gift; modern man no longer has enough time either for himself or for those close to him. Everything happens at a pace that affects human life as a whole, disrupting familyand social relationships. All this is reflected in the man's ability to adapt to new challenges, and thus education that equips the individual with those capabilities that make him able to face these unprecedented challenges is necessary. The emotional and somatic impact is mainly reflected in mental health. That is why the school and the educational system have the role of paying more attention to the field of mental health, raising awareness of the dangers that can lead to the installation of mental imbalance, prevention being the prophylactic basis. In our study, we will emphasize the importance of studying the field outside specialized schools, identifying certain deficiencies in education regarding mental health, as well as some important directions to be followed.
