About this book

This book describes key practices to bring school mental health programs to scale in a sustainable and effective manner. It emphasizes practices that facilitate the organization and delivery of evidence-based mental health interventions in schools. The volume addresses systems issues and practices that lay the groundwork for creating sustainable school mental health programs. It explores important considerations at the school, district, and state levels; tiered intervention as a framework to support school mental health; preparing the workforce; resource utilization and assuring cultural responsiveness and equity for under-served groups of students. In addition, the book focuses on recent and emerging evidence-based practices for practicably scaling school mental health in schools. Chapters examine systematic screening, followed by specific interventions, including just-in-time training and single session interventions. The book concludes with a focus on ways to address systemic barriers to school mental health, such as addressing the mental health of immigrants. Key areas of coverage include: Communities of practice at different levels of scale (e.g., school building, national). Resource mapping across schools and communities. Screening to match student needs with interventions. Systemic issues in service delivery. Scaling Effective School Mental Health Interventions and Practices is a must-have resource for practitioners, clinicians, and mental health therapists as well as researchers, professors, and graduate students across such interrelated disciplines as school, clinical, and counseling psychology, educational policy and government relations, social work, public health; family leaders and advocates, and medicine and allied health professions (e.g., psychiatry, primary care, nursing, speech and occupational therapy)

Young Children with ADHD

Early Identification and Intervention

George J. DuPaul, Lee Kern

"The purpose of this book is to provide comprehensive, empirically grounded information on assessment and early intervention for young children with ADHD. Each chapter presents detailed guidelines for assessment and treatment that are data based and practical (i.e., that take into account the inevitable challenges to comprehensive evaluation and treatment in real-world settings). Case illustrations are used throughout to provide examples of early identification and intervention in action. The organization of this book takes into account several factors. First, we describe the home-based component of early intervention because our experience indicates that most referrals for ADHD will come from primary care physicians and parents, and thus treatment strategies will initially be implemented in the home. Further, some young children do not attend preschool or day care, and intervention would be limited to the home in such cases. Therefore, we present information on home-based intervention before discussing preschool-based strategies. Second, one of the goals of early psychosocial intervention is to delay or avoid pharmacotherapy given the limited data regarding efficacy and safety in early childhood. Thus, medication treatment is not addressed until later in the book. Finally, we present the outcome findings from our early intervention research in the final chapter because we evaluated our program as a comprehensive treatment package (rather than dismantling effects due to each component); this also ensured that the earlier chapters are fully focused on presenting clinically relevant details about intervention"--Introduction.
