Download or read book Comprehensive Children s Mental Health Services in Schools and Communities written by Robyn S. Hess and published by Routledge. 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.
Download or read book Using School relevant Measures to Further Support the Implementation of School based Mental Health Programs in Public Schools in Southwest Ohio written by Jason A. Kibby and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the impact that school-based mental health programs had on student functioning using building-level indicators. This study compared school buildings located in southwest Ohio which had operating school-based mental health programs to similar buildings throughout the state of Ohio without school-based mental health programs. The four variables used for comparison were: 1) the percentage of state indicators of performance met during the 2003-2004 school year, 2) school attendance rates of students, 3) suspension rates, and 4) expulsion rates. A questionnaire was developed to collect this building information and to supplement data obtained from the Ohio Department of Education. Results of the data analyses using a MANOVA and four ANOVAs did not demonstrate a significant relationship between school-based mental health programs and the four studied variables. This paper also presents limitations of the study and directions for future research.
