Abstract: Mental health well-being has emerged as a significant concern in higher education, particularly among students enrolled in professional courses such as Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.). B.Ed. students are future teachers who will play a vital role in shaping young minds; therefore, their mental health is of utmost importance. The rigorous academic demands, teaching practice, evaluation stress, and transition into professional roles often place considerable psychological pressure on these students. This paper aims to explore the concept of mental health well-being, examine the importance of mental well-being for B.Ed. students, identify common mental health challenges they face, analyze factors influencing their mental wellbeing, and suggest strategies for promoting positive mental health within teacher education institutions. The paper emphasizes the role of institutions and teacher educators in creating a supportive environment to ensure holistic development of future teachers.
