Featuring the work of some of the most highly respected counselor educators in the field, MENTAL HEALTH INTERVENTIONS FOR SCHOOLS delivers a collaborative "how to" guide for both preventive and intervention-oriented counseling in school settings. It offers up-to-the-minute coverage of the most common mental health or psychosocial/emotional issues and disorders facing schoolchildren and youth--issues that can negatively impact their learning and long-term educational development. Chapters provide a solid overview of a mental health concern and then focus on school- and research-based actions that are preventive and intervention oriented as well as proven effective in school settings.
