Others need help with emotional skills. Many are affected by mental disorders. While every school has its share of students needing comprehensive mental health services, personnel struggle to address these needs effectively in an era of scarce resources and dwindling budgets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePreventive Mental Health at School\u003c\/i\u003e gives school-based practitioners and researchers an accessible, nuanced guide to implementing and improving real-world proactive programs and replacing outmoded service models. Based firmly in systems thinking and an ecological-public health\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eapproach, the book outlines the skills needed for choosing evidence-based interventions that are appropriate for all students, and for coordinating prevention efforts among staff, educators, and administration. As schools become more and more diverse, school-based practitioners must become knowledgeable in regard to the critical racial and cultural differences that affect students, their families, and enrich our schools. Research currently available to help meet the needs of various groups of children and their families is included as each topic is addressed. In addition, the author provides a theoretical groundwork and walks readers through the details of assessing resources and needs, applying knowledge to practice, and evaluating progress. Instructive case examples show these processes in action, and further chapters address questions of adapting programs already in place for greater developmental or cultural appropriateness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluded in the coverage:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStudent engagement, motivation, and active learning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngaging families through school and family partnerships.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvidence-based prevention of internalizing disorders.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSocial emotional learning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdapting programs for various racial and ethnic populations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdapting programs for young children.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePreventive Mental Health at School\u003c\/i\u003e offers solid guidance and transformative tools to\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eresearchers, graduate students, and professionals\/practitioners\/clinicians in varied fields including clinical child and school psychology, social work, public health and policy, educational policy and politics, and pediatrics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2014-09-12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781493921614\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4614-8609-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 382\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45587784990860,"sku":"9781493921614","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781493921614.jpg?v=1776543692","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781493921614","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
