Sponsor's own description

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a short, teacher-delivered mental health literacy (MHL) program can help improve mental health knowledge, reduce stigma, and encourage help-seeking among preteens in Japan. Participants are students in grade 5 (age 10-11) and grade 6 (age 11-12) attending public elementary schools. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Does the program increase students' knowledge about mental health and illnesses? * Does it reduce stigma toward people with mental illnesses? * Does it increase willingness to seek help and support peers? Researchers will compare students who receive the program with those who follow the usual school curriculum. Participants will: * Answer short self-report questionnaires before, right after, and three months after the program * Learn through a 45-minute classroom session that includes slides, a short animated film, and review activities * Be part of regular school classes led by their homeroom teacher The goal is to understand whether a concise and scalable MHL education can support early mental health awareness and prevention in younger youth. The results may help schools provide effective mental health education at an early age.
