This book was released on 2019 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this qualitative, phenomenological study was twofold: 1) to explore pre-service and in-service general education teachers’ role perceptions, including role breadth, role self-efficacy, role instrumentality, and role discretion, in relation to student mental health; and 2) to compare the role perceptions of pre-service and in-service teachers. A total of 18 participants were involved in this study, nine pre-service and nine in-service teachers, representing elementary, middle and high school levels. Analysis of the semi-structured interviews revealed several major findings. First, regarding role breadth, both pre-service and in-service teachers perceived themselves as having a role in prevention, recognition and intervention; however, a larger number of pre-service teachers focused on prevention compared to in-service teachers. In addition, in both groups of teachers, the scope of their role in prevention was limited to providing a safe classroom environment. Second, in terms of role self-efficacy, a majority of the pre-service and in-service teachers indicated a lack of confidence in being able to address student mental health issues, particularly those to which they were not exposed through personal or professional experiences. Third, with regard to role instrumentality, in-service and pre-service teachers alike indicated that it is valuable to both teachers and students for teachers to be involved in students’ mental health; however, pre-service teachers were more likely to see a value for the students compared to the in-service teachers. Fourth, in relation to role discretion, pre-service and in-service teachers stated that parents, administrators and mental health professionals have certain expectations for teachers to be involved in student mental health; however, these expectations were more “unspoken” rather than mandated. Finally, several cognitive, affective and contextual factors were found to impact both pre-service and in-service teachers’ role perceptions. Implications for practice and recommendations for future research are discussed.

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: In this paper, I discuss the problem of lack of teacher training and required coursework for pre-service teachers on mental health. In my literature review, I share the current offerings of teacher and pre-service teacher mental health training and note the lack of such research. To help combat the problem of lack of mental health training for educators, I designed an original one-credit course called EDUC 197: Supporting Students' Mental Health and taught it to nine Penn State students. While teaching the course, I collected data in a DBR model. After teaching the course, I reflected on the experience. I was able to develop several findings by analyzing my data. My findings were that many future teachers have a limited knowledge on mental health. I also found that students have an interest in mental health education, but do not have many options to receive it. And lastly, there is a large need for emphasis on virtual education and how to support students' mental health in an online setting.

Book excerpt: Abstract: Research indicates that the needs and numbers of students requiring mental health services exceed what is currently being offered and the consequences to children health and development are dire (Farmer, Burns, Phillip, Angold, &Costello, 2003; Kataoka, Zang, & Wells, 2002). School psychologists are charged with significant responsibilities regarding the provision of mental health services to students and yet there are challenges that exist within schools related to role demands, ethical responsibilities, and needs of the students. There is a critical need to examine how school psychologists are adjusting their role to meet this need and the types of services they provide. This study was designed to explore (1) the types of mental health services school psychologists provide (2) the amount of time school psychologist devote to the provision of mental health services, (3) role perceptions and the extent to which school psychologists perceive they are meeting students' mental health needs, (4) barriers and facilitators to mental health service provision. Practicing school psychologists in the state of Ohio (N = 122) completed an online survey regarding perceptions and practices of mental health service provision within the schools. The results of the study found that a little more than half of school psychologists are providing mental health services, yet most agreed that it was in their role to provide such services. Of all the mental health services, participants reported that assessment of social/emotional/behavior and formal consultation comprised most of their time related to mental health service provision. Most participants agreed that students were in need of mental health services further acknowledging that the services they currently provide are not meeting the needs of students. High caseloads and time and integration on site emerged as the most impactful barriers to mental health service provision. Implications of these findings are discussed.
Download or read book Examining Teachers Perceptions on Working with Immigrant and Refugee Students Exhibiting Signs of Mental Health Issues written by and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The research questions addressed in this study were: What are teachers' knowledge and awareness of mental health issues and how to recognize students struggling with mental health problems, what are their perceptions of their role in fostering sound student mental health and do teachers believe they have had the necessary training needed to assist students with mental health issues? Both quantitative and qualitative data was collected through an online survey of fifty participants; some of the questions in the survey relate to questions from the studies done by Reinke, W.M., Stormont, M., Herman, K.C., Puri, R., & Goel, N.. (2011) and Roeser and Midgley (1997). While the participants of Reinke et al.'s and Roeser and Midgley's studies were mainstream classroom teachers, the participants of this study were all teachers who worked primarily with immigrant and refugee learners. The findings of this study suggest that most teachers believe that they have a significant role in helping their students receive assistance when they are showing signs of mental health problems. The data suggest teachers would benefit from additional training at both the licensure/preservice stage and post-licensure stage of their professional development. This study found that teachers want specific knowledge and skills that would enable them to effectively address their students' mental health problems and to foster maximal learning." --

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this phenomenological study was to describe the lived experiences of general education elementary teachers attempting to meet the mental health needs of students in their care. Ten teachers from an Eastern Virginia school district were selected to participate in this study. Individuals with experience working with distressed students were selected through purposive criterion and snowball sampling. The theories guiding this study were Maslow’s (1943) hierarchy of needs and trauma theory (Caruth, 1995). Data from survey/questionnaires, interviews, and focus groups were collected and analyzed per transcendental phenomenology procedures to identify emerging themes from the data. The following four themes were identified: job successes, predictors/indicators of poor mental health, the importance of building relationships, and experiences serving as the best teacher. This study supports the need for additional mental health and wellness training at the pre-service and in-service levels for educators. Additionally, policymakers and educational leaders are challenged to ensure that teachers and students feel safe inside the classroom and that mental health resources are easily accessible for use. The aforementioned findings inform the training necessary to increase teachers’ self-efficacy, skill, and knowledge when it comes to meeting the mental health needs of students in their care.

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 2023-10-30 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covid-19 changed the lives of millions of people around the world. The effects of the global pandemic on the physical and psychological health of individuals, as well as on their behavioral habits, relationships, and the way they communicate, do not seem to be only short- or medium-term, but, on the contrary, appear to be long-lasting. In the same way that it is possible to use the term “long-covid” to refer to the long-term effects on the physical health of individuals who have contracted the virus, so we think it is possible to use the expression 'psychological long-covid' to indicate the long-term effects on the psychological health of individuals, not only of those who have been infected, but more generally of all those who have had to cope with social restrictions, lockdowns, distancing, remote work and learning, etc. imposed by the pandemic. At the same time, many people demonstrated resilience, as the capacity to cope with adverse events through positive adaptation.
