Child Adolesc Psychiatr Clin N Am. 2021 Oct;30(4):751-765. doi: 10.1016/j.chc.2021.07.004.ABSTRACTSince the early 1900s when school-based health services were first introduced, models of school-based health have evolved toward comprehensive and integrated models that include mental health. New and innovative models of Comprehensive Mental Health Systems offer a range of prevention and intervention strategies that are delivered across collaborative systems of community and school-based mental health. Studies of school-based health services indicate positive outcomes in health, mental health, and education. Child and adolescent psychiatrists can work with schools by providing direct service, consultation, and technical assistance to increase access, improve health equity, and optimize mental health outcomes for all youth.PMID:34538446 | DOI:10.1016/j.chc.2021.07.004
