Abstract

Mental health among students is a crucial aspect of education, influencing both academic performance and individual well-being. However, the implementation of mental health programs in Muna Regency faces significant challenges, including limited resources and insufficient teacher training. This study addresses a knowledge gap in the literature by exploring the relationship between strategic leadership and the effectiveness of mental health programs in schools. A qualitative descriptive approach was used, involving in-depth interviews with stakeholders, such as school principals and the Muna Regency Department of Education, to identify key elements of strategic leadership. The findings reveal that strategic leadership significantly contributes to overcoming implementation challenges through innovative strategies, such as community-based approaches and teacher recognition. The implications of this study underscore the importance of school principals as strategic leaders in fostering synergy among stakeholders, which positively impacts student mental well-being and ensures the sustainability of mental health programs in schools.
