Abstract

School based mental health services for children in poverty can capitalize on schools’ inherent capacity to support development and bridge home and neighborhood ecologies. We propose an ecological model informed by public health and organizational theories to refocus school based services in poor communities on the core function of schools to promote learning. We describe how coalescing mental health resources around school goals includes a focus on universal programming, mobilizing indigenous school and community resources, and supporting core teaching technologies. We suggest an iterative research–practice approach to program adaptation and implementation as a means toward advancing science and developing healthy children.

The term “school-based” will be used to be inclusive of all mental health activities that occur in a school building, regardless of funding source, level of intervention, or provider of prevention or service.

Some of the child services (e.g., case management) include family outreach components, but sustained and productive contact with families is particularly challenging in low-income schools.
