-Kevin P. Dwyer, Consultant, Turnaround for Children Former
President, National Association of School Psychologists The road
map for designing and implementing effective mental health services
for all students! Studies have shown that mental wellness is a key
determinant of students' academic and developmental success, but
simply addressing the problems of individual students is not
enough. Increasingly, schools are turning to population-based
models for providing mental health services to ensure that students
maintain the psychological, social, and emotional competence needed
for learning. This comprehensive guidebook demonstrates how to use
this approach to effectively assess mental health needs and design
appropriate prevention and intervention strategies that will
benefit individual students, whole classrooms, and an entire school
population. Drawing from a wealth of current research and backed by
evidence supporting the effectiveness of the population-based
approach, this wide-ranging resource offers: Formal and informal
strategies for identifying and prioritizing a school's mental
health needs, as well as risk and protective factors Insights into
creating and managing a nurturing school environment, promoting
psychological well-being, and preventing mental health problems
Suggestions for engaging parents in the process of fostering mental
health Intervention strategies that address significant behavioral
problems, including violence, bullying, depression, and difficulty
relating to peers An integrated ten-step sequence for shifting from
conventional approaches that focus only on individual problems to
population-based services that support all students Transforming
School Mental Health Services is the ideal resource for school
mental health professionals and critical decision makers looking to
optimize students' wellness and educational performance.
Transforming School Mental Health Services provides a 'roadmap' for
designing and implementing school psychological services for all
students in a school. School psychologists will find guidelines
for: - Conducting a mental health needs assessment of the entire
student body - Analyzing patterns and trends to identify risk
factors and common needs - Using the needs assessment to plan and
implement mental health service programs that respond to identified
needs
