Download or read book School based Mental Health Services written by Bonnie K. Nastasi and published by Amer Psychological Assn. This book was released on 2004-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School-Based Mental Health Services fills an important gap by challenging school psychologists to think broadly about how to best use their training and skills to empower individuals, schools, and communities. The authors urge readers to choose not only efficacious programs but also programs that are effective through sensitive adaptation and modification on the basis of ethnicity, race, and culture of local schools and communities. This volume presents the Participatory Cultural-Specific Intervention Model (PCSIM)--an innovative model grounded in theories and techniques of applied cultural anthropology and school psychology. This intriguing model establishes a continuous feedback-driven, self-perpetuating process that balances research with application. It includes an inventive array of participant observations, expert consultation, research, and continuous program refinement that extends the traditional model of intervention into program development. Practitioners will be attracted to this innovative and far-reaching approach and will quickly see how to become system change agents within their schools. School-Based Mental Health Services is the latest volume in the Applying Psy

It addresses issues surrounding the increasing demands on school psychologists and educational and mental health professionals to support and provide improved student well-being, learning, and academic outcomes.

Chapters offer robust examples of successful programs and interventions, addressing a range of student issues, including depression, self-harm, social anxiety, high-achiever anxiety, and hidden distress. In addition, chapters explore ways in which mental health and education professionals can implement evidence-informed programs, from the testing and experimental stages to actual use within schools and classrooms. Topics featured in this handbook include: · A Canadian perspective to mental health literacy and teacher preparation. · The relevance of emotional intelligence in the effectiveness of delivering school-based mental health programs. · Intervention programs for reducing self-stigma in children and adolescents. · School-based suicide prevention and intervention. · Mindfulness-based programs in school settings. · Implementing emotional intelligence programs in Australian schools. The Handbook for School-Based Mental Health Promotion is a must-have resource for researchers, clinicians and related professionals, and policymakers as well as graduate students across such interrelated disciplines as child and school psychology, social work, education policy and politics, special and general education, public health, school nursing, occupational therapy, psychiatry, school counseling, and family studies.
Download or read book School Based Health Care and the District of Columbia Safety Net Medical Homes DC Report written by 21st Century School Fund, Washington, DC. and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides the results of research into the variety of health care services currently offered in the public schools in the District of Columbia, with a particular focus on school-based health centers. Also provided are the results of research into the practice of utilizing school-based health centers nationally in the U.S. The report is prepared by the 21st Century School Fund in support of the current Medical Homes DC project led by the DC Primary Care Association (DCPCA). Medical Homes DC is a project to expand, improve or build primary care clinical space in the District, and to ensure that the clinic providers in those spaces have the skills, organizational infrastructure, and equipment to provide high quality care. A medical home is a place where there is a primary care provider who knows a patient?s health history; where a patient will be seen regardless of his or her ability to pay; and where the patient routinely seeks non-emergency medical care. The project is in the first year, with funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS); the D.C. Department of Health (DOH); and Consumer Health, Meyer, Kaiser, and Marpat Foundations. The role of 21CSF in the first year was to be the D.C. public and public charter school facilities and health care services expert; to be the link between the Medical Homes DC team, school facilities and health care staff, and other organizations working to improve school facilities and health care; and to look for opportunities to place new clinics in school sites. This research found that there are a wide variety of health care services and programs offered throughout the D.C. public schools, ranging from part-time (and in some cases full-time) nursing care at every school to fairly comprehensive school-based health centers at three of the schools. Despite the wide range of services, programs, and funding sources, there are significant problems within the current health care system in the D.C. public tem?s effectiveness. One significant problem is the poor state of health care facilities, equipment, and supplies, particularly for nurses. Another problem is the lack of information sharing between and among the various health care entities operating in the public schools. And a third problem is that there is no clear chain of accountability within the system to be responsible for its performance and direction. Based on this review of the D.C. public school health services, specific recommendations are made for how these schools and their partners can strengthen school based health services and create a stronger relationship with the rest of the primary care safety net. Appended are: (1) State Standards for School Based Health Centers; and (2) Sample School Based Health Center Memoranda of Agreement. (Contains 4 tables, pie charts, and color photos of health center exam rooms, in various schools.).
Download or read book Adolescent Health Services written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2008-12-03 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescence is a time of major transition, however, health care services in the United States today are not designed to help young people develop healthy routines, behaviors, and relationships that they can carry into their adult lives. While most adolescents at this stage of life are thriving, many of them have difficulty gaining access to necessary services; other engage in risky behaviors that can jeopardize their health during these formative years and also contribute to poor health outcomes in adulthood. Missed opportunities for disease prevention and health promotion are two major problematic features of our nation's health services system for adolescents. Recognizing that health care providers play an important role in fostering healthy behaviors among adolescents, Adolescent Health Services examines the health status of adolescents and reviews the separate and uncoordinated programs and services delivered in multiple public and private health care settings. The book provides guidance to administrators in public and private health care agencies, health care workers, guidance counselors, parents, school administrators, and policy makers on investing in, strengthening, and improving an integrated health system for adolescents.
