| Summary: | This book related to fundamental recognitions that children, adolescents and families usually make no or very poor connections to specialty mental health, schools are where children and youth are and many advantages accrue when education, mental health and other youth-serving systems join together to better meet the mental health needs of students, in ways that reflect reducing and removing barriers to learning. National and global networks are increasingly recognizing the centrality of the SMH agenda as reflected in increasing funding, growing training opportunities, key policy initiatives, and an advancing research base that involves localities, states, regions and countries pursuing common themes. |
