A range of strategies have been shown to improve peer interactions and reduce bullying behaviours. Yet many teachers struggle to detect bullying and to respond to it effectively. This book is a much- needed guide to evidence-based methods for prevention and intervention in K–12 classrooms.

Cognitive Behavioral Interventions for Children with Aggressive Behavior: Applying Coping Power in School and Clinical Settings explores the theoretical development, empirical foundations, and real-world implementation of one of today’s most effective and outcomes-driven models for cognitive behavioral interventions in schools.Coping Power, which developed from Anger Coping, was created to support prevention and early intervention efforts for aggressive, high-risk children and adolescents by school-based mental health professionals. Offering a basis for Coping Power’s history, objectives, activities, and models, this book uses current implementation science models to explore the training, implementation, and dissemination of research inspired by the program. Further insights are offered on how Coping Power can be adapted across diverse community contexts and optimized with new methodological approaches.Graduate students, teaching faculty, supervising professionals, and researchers in school psychology, school counseling, school social work, special education, clinical and community psychology and beyond will come away with new perspectives on how to intentionally develop and evaluate adaptations of existing evidence-based interventions in order to meet the needs of children who are less responsive to existing interventions.

With so few therapeutic outlets readily available to young people, schools have evolved into mental health centers for many students. Yet schools are hampered by limited access to resources needed to provide mental health promotion, prevention, and intervention services.

Like its acclaimed predecessor, the Second Edition of the Handbook of School Mental Health offers ways for professionals to maximize resources, make and strengthen valuable connections, and attain more effective school-based services and programming. At the same time, the Handbook provides strategies and recommendations in critical areas, such as workforce development, interdisciplinary collaborations, youth/family engagement, consultation, funding, and policy concerns, summarizes the state of current research, and offers directions for further study. Chapters model best practices for promoting wellness and safety, early detection of emotional and behavioral problems, and school-based interventions for students with anxiety, depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and other common challenges. In spotlighting this range of issues, the contributors have created a comprehensive game plan for advancing the field.

Among the Handbook''s topics:

Pre-service training for school mental health clinicians.Cognitive-behavioral interventions for trauma in schools. Increasing parental engagement in school-based interventions.Models of psychiatric consultation to schools.Culturally competent behavioral and emotional screening. Bullying from a school mental health perspective.Prevention and intervention strategies related to a variety of mental health problems in schools.

The Second Edition of the Handbook of School Mental Health is an essential reference for researchers, graduate students, and other professionals in child and school psychology, special and general education, public health, school nursing, occupational therapy, psychiatry, social work and counseling, educational policy, and family advocacy.

The handbook provides thoughtful and provocative critiques of the science and practice of school mental health. It examines intervention science and implementation science and the study of professional development and stakeholder engagement. The volume outlines the relevant issues facing the field of school mental health and provides a framework for the areas of study. Chapters critique the science in a specific area, draw innovative connections between findings, and present new information about their area of expertise. This handbook provides a concise and critical update of the literature in school mental health and is an essential resource for those from the wide range of disciplines that constitute the science and practice of school mental health.Key topics featured include:Promoting meaningful engagement and leadership in school mental health by diverse stakeholders.Training, coaching, and workforce development in school mental health.Intervention science for children with specific needs (e.g., anxiety, depression, trauma, autism).Innovations in scaling-up and Implementation science, focusing on such topics as multitiered systems of support and scaleup of positive behavior support strategies.The handbook is an essential reference for researchers, graduate students, and other professionals in child and school psychology, special and general education, public health, school nursing, occupational therapy, psychiatry, social work and counseling, educational policy, and family advocacy.
