ABSTRACT

Stress is a pervasive concern in educational settings, affecting students, educators, administrators, and even parents. It manifests in psychological, physiological, and behavioral responses that can hinder academic performance, teaching effectiveness, and overall well-being. This paper examines the nature and sources of stress in educational contexts and outlines coping mechanisms tailored for students and educators. The roles of institutions, technology, and parental involvement in mitigating stress are also explored. Through case studies and evidence-based interventions, the paper proposes a multi-pronged strategy that integrates emotional, behavioral, and organizational tools for effective stress management. Emphasis is placed on the need for personalized coping strategies, supportive institutional frameworks, and the responsible use of self-help technologies to promote holistic well-being within academic environments.

Keywords: Educational stress, coping strategies, student mental health, teacher well-being, stress management programs, emotional resilience, parental involvement.
