With an increase in the discussion around mental health in general, there needs to be research geared toward how educational professionals may assist a student who struggles with anxiety symptoms or disorders. This study aimed to determine how students with anxiety and anxiety disorders are impacted by teachers' responses to their anxiety manifestations, both positive and negative, in terms of their school experience. This study also investigated students' suggestions for how teachers may effectively assist a student who struggles with anxiety. This study used self-reported data from students from an honors college via a survey and focus groups in order to investigate these topics. The results found that students value student-teacher relationships and communication, flexibility (accommodations), and empathy from the teacher. Results suggest it is important for teachers to get to know a student and understand his or her challenges before making judgments.

Military service can have a profound impact on families, particularly in relation to parental mental health. These factors can make the parent’s ability to provide stability and emotional support to other family members, especially children, extremely difficult. While the parent plays an important role in a child's life, teachers also play a critical role in understanding and supporting children’s behavior and performance in school. There seems to be a notable lack of studies exploring their perceptions of military student behaviors. Military families often experience unique challenges due to moving frequently, parental deployments, and the potential impact of military life on children’s emotional well-being (Briggs et al., 2019). Understanding how teachers perceive and respond to these specific challenges is crucial in providing appropriate support to military students. By exploring teacher perceptions, researchers could gain insights into how military life influences classroom dynamics, academic performance, and social interactions. The current study aims to investigate what child, parent, family, and deployment-related factors are associated with teachers’ perceptions of externalizing and internalizing behaviors in military-connected children.
