This book highlights the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the
mental health needs of children and adolescents in order to shed
light on future practice and reform needed to better deal with the
aftermath of such devastating events. The book identifies the
conditions during any public health crisis that heighten the mental
health needs of children and adolescents and suggests the reforms
of mental health services needed to better meet the needs of
children and youths during and following pandemics and other public
health crises. Importance is placed not only on addressing the
effects of COVID-19 but on anticipating and preparing for other
public health disruptions to the lives of those who have not
reached adulthood. Although mental health services in all settings
are considered, special attention is given to the role of schools
in providing for the mental health of children and adolescents and
preparing for the mental health implications of future public
health disruptions. The book will be of equal use to both students
and researchers in the fields of mental health, well-being, and
education as well as teachers, educational psychologists, social
workers, and practitioners working in schools and communities to
address students' mental health needs. It will help readers better
understand how and why COVID-19 was a negative influence on
students' mental health, and unpack how best to deal with the
aftermath of the pandemic.

The Scandalous Neglect of Children's Mental Health: What Schools
Can Do makes the case that children with mental health needs are
under-identified and under-served by schools and other agencies.
After reading this brief but powerful book, you will better
understand the nature of children's mental health needs and the
need for expanded services for children in schools and communities.
The risks and benefits of treatment, especially early intervention,
are discussed and guidelines for action by teachers, parents, and
others are provided. The sad fact is that many people do not
understand that most young people with mental health needs never
receive any treatment of any kind and most of those who receive any
treatment at all receive those services only in schools.
