Mental Health and Wellbeing through Schools brings together
international experts from various disciplines to identify and
address a range of current challenges in this rapidly-developing
field of endeavour. The opening chapter details lessons learned
from research and practice, outlining some emerging challenges for
the effective implementation of mental health initiatives in
schools. Subsequent chapters take up the various issues, exploring
problems and proposing solutions. Topics fall within four broad
areas: Organisational and leadership issues such as dealing with
'wicked' or 'hard-to-tame' (complex and resistant) problems and
taking a broad public health approach; Teacher-related issues, such
as how to integrate programs successfully into schools, and teacher
skills and professional learning; The challenges and opportunities
of new technologies, including cyberbullying and the use of online,
multimedia and mobile resources for both student and teacher
learning and support; The need for a greater focus on targeted
interventions for at-risk students, such as those with
disabilities; also addressing 'hard-to-tame' problems such as
bullying, youth suicide and depression. Mental Health and Wellbeing
through Schools will be of interest to those involved in
researching, developing, evaluating and implementing mental health
initiatives in schools, including academics, practitioners,
educators and educational and Mental Health policy makers. It will
also be of use to professionals, such as nurses and social workers,
concerned with the wellbeing of children and adolescents. The book
will have international appeal, with contributors from around the
world, experienced in a range of contexts. Rosalyn H. Shute is
