Voices from Research: Challenges in Health, Education, and Social Work is an edited volume bringing together ten empirical studies grounded in a shared premise: health, education, and social work are interdependent dimensions of human wellbeing that must be analyzed in an integrated way. Coordinated by the Consolidated Academic Body "Human Development" at the Autonomous University of Campeche, the book examines contemporary issues affecting university life in Mexican contexts, including the mental and sexual health of young students, academic stress and coping strategies, emotional self-regulation and socioemotional competencies, empathy in assessment, social and cognitive skills in learning, and information technology use in old age. Methodologically, it combines quantitative, qualitative, and autoethnographic approaches, an epistemological plurality that broadens analytical scope and acknowledges the complexity of the social realities studied. Beyond diagnosis, the chapters identify causes and implications and propose evidence-based intervention pathways, institutional strategies, and preventive actions, positioning schools and universities as spaces that promote wellbeing. Aimed at students, teachers, researchers, and practitioners in the social and health sciences, the volume offers a multidisciplinary, critical, and contextualized map of challenges and intervention possibilities.
