A Comprehensive Approach to School Mental Health

 

 

Two articles are included this month to give you a better understanding of a comprehensive approach to school mental health.

 

Both articles are by Dr. Howard Aldeman and Dr. Linda Taylor, Co-directors of the Center for Mental Health in Schools at UCLA and the faculty for the first module in the School Mental Health Training Series. The first article is shorter (14 pages), providing an introduction. The second one is much longer (139 pages), giving much more detail.
