This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elementary schools should be adept at assisting students in meeting their mental health need, such as, providing a non-violence approach to conflict resolution; strengthening the students' relationships with their family members and friends; taking responsibility for their education and future; creating a stronger positive image; handling tough times more effectively; and setting and achieving their goals in life. The purpose of this Q methodology was to explore what teacher perspectives are on how to best support student well-being in the elementary school classroom. Specifically, this study examined what factors emerged when faculty in a large urban school district in Northeast Florida were asked to model their perceptions about student well-being via a Q sort. This study serves as a foundation for further research into perceptions from teachers about the how to best support student well-being in elementary schools. Results of this study may affect positive social change by leading to increased mental health services in elementary schools.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This study examined teachers' attitudes regarding students with mental illness, their perceived knowledge and skills in working with students with mental health problems, their patterns of referral and reasons they referred students to mental health services. A sample of 43 elementary school teachers in Southern California completed surveys. Over half of the teachers reported they believe they have knowledge and skills to teach children with mental health problems; however, they also reported they could use more training on best practices and interventions to work with these students. Alarmingly, 40% of the teachers reported having less than the average knowledge and skills regarding mental health and one fifth of the teachers reported they had never referred a student for mental health services. Teachers also indicated how they believed school social workers could be of assistance to them in the school setting. Implications for social work practice and future research are discussed.

This book was released on 2013-06-19 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the growing emphasis on a population-based training and service delivery model for school psychology, few resources exist to provide guidance concerning how such services might be conceptualized and put into place. In this book, the authors propose a public health model for comprehensive children’s mental health services that expands, rather than replaces, the traditional model of school psychology. The background and theoretical perspective for this public health model are discussed as an important way to solve problems and accomplish goals in schools, after which the authors outline and develop a clear, practical procedure for implementing and evaluating programs based on public health ideas. A case study in one elementary school walks readers through the stages of applying a public health model, detailing the key steps of each stage. Finally, the authors consider the changes to the role of school psychologist that will be required to practice a public health problem-solving model. Accompanying downloadable resources contain sample forms, handouts, and other valuable materials that will be of use to school psychologists implementing this public health model in their schools.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With so few therapeutic outlets readily available to young people, schools have evolved into mental health centers for many students. Yet schools are hampered by limited access to resources needed to provide mental health promotion, prevention, and intervention services. Like its acclaimed predecessor, the Second Edition of the Handbook of School Mental Health offers ways for professionals to maximize resources, make and strengthen valuable connections, and attain more effective school-based services and programming. At the same time, the Handbook provides strategies and recommendations in critical areas, such as workforce development, interdisciplinary collaborations, youth/family engagement, consultation, funding, and policy concerns, summarizes the state of current research, and offers directions for further study. Chapters model best practices for promoting wellness and safety, early detection of emotional and behavioral problems, and school-based interventions for students with anxiety, depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and other common challenges. In spotlighting this range of issues, the contributors have created a comprehensive game plan for advancing the field. Among the Handbook's topics: Pre-service training for school mental health clinicians. Cognitive-behavioral interventions for trauma in schools. Increasing parental engagement in school-based interventions. Models of psychiatric consultation to schools. Culturally competent behavioral and emotional screening. Bullying from a school mental health perspective. Prevention and intervention strategies related to a variety of mental health problems in schools. The Second Edition of the Handbook of School Mental Health is an essential reference for researchers, graduate students, and other professionals in child and school psychology, special and general education, public health, school nursing, occupational therapy, psychiatry, social work and counseling, educational policy, and family advocacy.

Book excerpt: Despite myriad mental health programs to address mental illness in place in public schools across the United States, rates of child and adolescent mental illness continue to rise. As an indicator of the severity of these issues, child and adolescent deaths by suicide, among those aged 10 to 24, provide a stark example: this rate increased 56% across the US between 2007 and 2017 (Curtin & Heron, 2019). Children and adolescents face many inequalities in relation to developing mental illnesses which include location, poverty, caretaker mental illness, substance misuse in the home, abuse and neglect (Hair et al., 2015; Marmot et al., 2008; Vernon-Feagans et al., 2012). In addition to increased risk for developing mental illnesses, there are identification and treatment disparities related to location, family demographics and family mental health (Barnett, 2008; Johnson & Coles, 2013). Public schools, which service 90% of children and adolescents in the U.S., (Elementary and Secondary Enrollment, NCES, 2019), present a promising site for the identification and intervention of mental health issues. Unfortunately, there are also barriers in the identification and delivery of mental health treatment. With teacher overutilization, vague state and district-level mental health policies and highly variable resources and staff, schools are providing an inconsistent response to student mental illness (Jacob & McGovern, 2015; Reinke et al., 2011a; Walcott et al., 2018). Some interventions may be more effective than others, and classroom teachers may be able to provide insights into the effectiveness of interventions as they spend the most time observing the effects on their students. The purpose of this research was to collect teachers' perceptions of their school as an environment for supporting student mental health. To this end, I implemented a mixed methods research project to examine school environments as they relate to mental health at the school building, district and county level to ascertain whether certain environments (consisting of mental health staff, programming and policies) were perceived as being helpful to supporting student mental health. First, I collected teacher data using a mixed-methods, cross-sectional electronic survey that included demographic questions, questions about school resources, open-ended questions and a validated instrument for assessing teachers' perceptions, attitudes and emotions related to student mental illness. In addition to this, I gathered data from the US Decennial Census and the National Center for Education Statistics. For policy analysis, I collected data from school districts' board policy manuals. To analyze data, I used a combination of inferential and descriptive statistical models in addition to qualitative thematic analysis. I developed analysis categories for school buildings and districts using hierarchical clustering analysis to compare variables such as staff to student ratios, county financial demographics, district spending and other differences which may impact mental health environments. The three types of categories are mental health policies, school district variables, overall financial variables and school building variables. To assess relationships between categories and the data from surveys and reports, I developed regression models to analyze the likelihood of effects between variables. The purpose of this project was to take a first step to assess whether school differences among these four analysis categories impact student mental health.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The number of children and adolescents diagnosed with mental illness is rising substantially in the United States. This qualitative study will examine the perceived effectiveness of the current school-based mental health services and programs in secondary schools in Southcentral Pennsylvania. It will also explore the mental health programming being provided along with how prepared teachers, school counselors, psychologists, and administrators feel when managing the mental health needs of students in secondary schools. Data collection will be elicited through surveys and follow-up interviews as the assessment measures. The data includes input from 65 teachers, nine school counselors, five school psychologists and 16 administrators from seven public middle schools and five public high schools in Southcentral Pennsylvania. The results of this study may be used to help educators and administrators make more informed decisions about students with mental health needs, allocate resources that are perceived to be more effective, and provide more specific professional development to staff in order to better equip them with the skills needed to support students with mental health needs.
