Abstract: Mental health care management proposals are relevant because they also include projects aimed at social development. Objective: To propose a management model for student mental health care through agricultural projects that promote sustainable social development in educational institutions. Method: This propositional article adopts a qualitative approach based on a documentary review of literature on student mental health, educational productive projects, and sustainable development, as well as the systematization of institutional management criteria. Results: Three interconnected components are proposed: participatory planning of agricultural projects focused on well-being, socioemotional support during productive activities, and engagement with the community and local market. The model includes implementation phases, monitoring and evaluation indicators, ethical safeguards, and institutional stakeholders’ responsibilities. Conclusions/Contributions: Agricultural projects can integrate mental health care, practical learning, and community development, strengthening shared responsibility among schools, families, and communities. Their effectiveness requires leadership, interinstitutional coordination, referral protocols, and continuous evaluation. The model may be adapted to different educational contexts and should be validated through expert assessment and pilot experiences before implementation.
