Student mental health initiatives in Tamaulipas

Overview

Educational institutions in Tamaulipas, Mexico, are increasing their focus on student mental health and socioemotional support.

Victor González Salum, director general of the Colegio de Bachilleres de Tamaulipas (Cobat), announced that mental-health support is now a priority for the state’s higher-secondary system, which serves approximately 18,000 students. The initiative utilizes a monitoring application to identify issues and refers students to health and intervention agencies when necessary.

In a similar development, CBTis 119 in Ciudad Victoria announced the implementation of a mandatory socioemotional education program called ‘ABC de las Emociones’ for the 2026-2027 school year. While some students have shown resistance to the program, school officials aim to address anxiety and depression to support academic performance. The school will utilize federal workbooks and trained tutors to facilitate these classroom activities.
