Some engage in high-risk behaviors. Others need help with emotional
skills. Many are affected by mental disorders. While every school
has its share of students needing comprehensive mental health
services, personnel struggle to address these needs effectively in
an era of scarce resources and dwindling budgets. Preventive Mental
Health at School gives school-based practitioners and researchers
an accessible, nuanced guide to implementing and improving
real-world proactive programs and replacing outmoded service
models. Based firmly in systems thinking and an ecological-public
health approach, the book outlines the skills needed for choosing
evidence-based interventions that are appropriate for all students,
and for coordinating prevention efforts among staff, educators, and
administration. As schools become more and more diverse,
school-based practitioners must become knowledgeable in regard to
the critical racial and cultural differences that affect students,
their families, and enrich our schools. Research currently
available to help meet the needs of various groups of children and
their families is included as each topic is addressed. In addition,
the author provides a theoretical groundwork and walks readers
through the details of assessing resources and needs, applying
knowledge to practice, and evaluating progress. Instructive case
examples show these processes in action, and further chapters
address questions of adapting programs already in place for greater
developmental or cultural appropriateness. Included in the
coverage: Student engagement, motivation, and active learning.
Engaging families through school and family partnerships.
Evidence-based prevention of internalizing disorders. Social
emotional learning. Adapting programs for various racial and ethnic
populations. Adapting programs for young children. Preventive
Mental Health at School offers solid guidance and transformative
tools to researchers, graduate students, and
professionals/practitioners/clinicians in varied fields including
clinical child and school psychology, social work, public health
and policy, educational policy and politics, and pediatrics.
