Mental Health in Our Schools: An Applied Collaborative Approach to Working with Students and Families offers practical strategies for school personnel to work collaboratively in addressing the mental health needs of students.
The book examines four primary mental health disorders often seen in children and adolescents. Readers learn the signs and symptoms of these disorders, their risk factors, and their neurological components. Case vignettes at the elementary, middle, and high school levels help readers conceptualize how to work with all systems available to employ interventions and advance students' social, emotional, and academic growth. The text addresses the ethical, legal, and cultural implications of treating mental health issues within the school system, as well as how to work with community providers and families to promote overall well-being for disadvantaged youth and those suffering from mental health issues.
A timely and critical resource for individuals in educational settings, Mental Health in Our Schools is an invaluable resource for courses and programs in education and school administration. It can also prove valuable for active school personnel, including administrators, counselors, teachers, and more.
