Riassunto

Schools are a natural setting for providing mental health services to children. This is where they spend most of their time, learn to develop peer relationships, and cultivate life skills. From a primary prevention perspective it is the perfect place to teach children and adolescents appropriate coping and resiliency skills that will positively impact their lives going forward. From a secondary prevention perspective, early identification and referral for intervention can help children who are veering off path get back on track. In this volume, Dr. Kathleen Laundy draws upon her years of experience as an educator, psychologist and marriage and family therapist to describe ways in which professionals can effectively collaborate as teams in the best interests of children. It is essential reading for any mental health professional who wants to apply their skills in the most natural of settings for children, the schools they attend on a daily basis.

Recensione:

“Laundy helped initiate legislation in Connecticut that certifies family therapists (MFTs) to be employed in schools. That legislation is now being enacted across the country, and Laundy rounds out her mission with this comprehensive systemic assessment and practice guide. It is a useful text for counselors, psychologists, school nurses, social workers, teachers and administrators and families alike. The book is especially helpful for those who struggle to collaborate with multiple systems to help children thrive and achieve. It provides a model called LOGs to guide readers through the layers of school-based collaboration, and includes information on the supervision of school-based health teams. The book is a must-read for anyone working to promote the health of children in schools.” Thorana Nelson, PhD, Professor Emerita, Utah State University, Past President, Utah Division of AAMFT, AAMFT Clinical Fellow, AAMFT Approved Supervisor
