The school has played an important role in the formation of many generations, since the educational institution that follows the family directly in its importance and impact on mental health and the degree of compatibility of children psychologically and socially, so the school is not just a place in which academic and scientific skills are learned, but rather a mini-society in which the members interact and influence each other’s, the psychological development of the student is one of its most prestigious services, as it works to provide psychological care for students inside and outside its borders, in order to form a strong and coherent personality[1].

The role of the school is not only limited to the process of obtaining information in order to pass the tests and examinations, but rather exceeds the fulfillment of the psychological needs of students, and dealing with mental health needs in schools is very important, as there is 1 in 5 children and young adults who suffer from An emotional, behavioral, or mental health disorder, and 1 in 10 young adults have a mental health problem that hinders his work at home, school or society[2].

One of the most important goals of mental health in school is to address the concerns related to psychological, social and health problems that affect the learning process and the performance of students, especially academic achievement, which is an issue that we need to stand on from several angles, as it has important dimensions that give us clear indications about the future of Students.

The academic achievement is defined as a process that includes everything a student can learn in his school, whether it is related to cognitive, motivational, or social and emotional aspect[3]. But considering all this increased interest by the parents and teachers to raise the level of academic achievement of pupils and to avoid its decline, at the expense of

the health and psychological safety needs of students, especially in adolescence, which is overwhelmed by many psychological problems such as psychological, emotional, mental and social imbalance, we should ask many questions that we will try through this study to find the answers
