Comprehensive School Mental Health Programs

Provide a full array of services at three tiers:

​

•  Universal mental health promotion for all students.

•  Selective services for students identified as at risk for a mental health concern or problem.

•  Indicated services for individual students who already display a mental health concern or           problems.

•  School and community partners join together to form a student intervention team.

• The team meets regularly to discuss and plan interventions for students that have been      referred for school mental health services. 

• Together the team develops an intervention plan for the student.

• The team ensures individual tasks are designated to ensure care coordination, treatment and follow up care is provided for the student and their family.

• The team provides oversight for the full intervention process.
