Abstract

Schools offer a unique opportunity to provide mental health care for children in the child-protective system. Among the advantages schools provide is the opportunity to intervene with a child and foster family or group home coordinator in a community setting, to enhance children's academic progress and affect children's peer relations, to increase access to underserved children via their availability in schools, and to lessen the stigma of mental health services. This chapter begins with a discussion of the consultation model, the predominant model for school-based mental health services. It then describes the Parents and Peers as Leaders in School (PALS) approach, which offers an innovative, ecological model guiding school-based mental health care, and is a potential resource for youth in out-of-home placements.
