Five Approaches for Addressing Youth Mental Health Issues
1. Institute of Medicine Classifications 2. Coordinated School Health Programs3. Systems of Care 4. Public Health Approach 5. Individual Intervention Approach
7
1. Institute of Medicine Classifications
Interventions can occur in schools, homes, community centers, or other community-based settings Promote emotional and social competence through activities that teach emotional regulation and problem solving skillsUsed by the National Registry of Effective Programs and Practices NREPPwww.nrepp.gov

2. Coordinated School Health Programs
3. Systems of CareD&A

4. Public Health Approach
Works across systems to forge connections that promote child and adolescent mental health in many types of sites (e.g., schools, communities, workplace, and hospitals)
Organizes youth mental health concerns into three levels of prevention interventions
Primary (Universal) Secondary (Indicated) Tertiary (Targeted)
11
Public Health Levels of Intervention
Primary Prevention Purpose is to prevent future cases
of a problem behavior/disorder Population—whole population all
youth in a school community)
Tertiary Prevention Prevent future cases of a
disorder; promote wellness and prevent problems; slow progression of disorder and minimize complications; reduce intensity of problem behaviors
Secondary Prevention Prevent future
cases of a disorder—identify disorder early, reduce symptoms, cure disorder, and/or limit disability, reduce frequency of problem behaviors
12
5. Individual Intervention Approach
The individual mental health concerns and problems intervention process approach is concerned with addressing the mental health and problems of individual children and adolescents, one at a time, within the larger population of youth at a site (i.e., school community program, camp).
By definition, it is intense and time consuming to focus on attending to a single child or adolescent and his or her family and caregivers.
13
Individual Intervention Approach
A continuum of activities linking students to necessary programs and services.
The Center for Mental Health in Schools at UCLA include as key elements of the activity continuum
initial problem identification clarifying need consultation with child and family management of care ongoing monitoring
14
Individual Intervention Approach
Modeled after student assistance program that uses four phases to link students and their families to the care system in the school community referral planning intervention and recommendations follow-up and support
(Fertman, 2004;
Fertman, Fichter, Schlesinger, Tarasevich, Wald, Zhang, 2001)

Benefits of the Approaches
Helps in discerning program outcomesSpecifies programs and services for addressing concernsIdentifies the timing for interventionsHelps in choosing the right mix of strategiesEnhances communication between professionalsPromotes critical thinking and creative problem solvingReduces replication of activities & improves resource
managementImproves program efficiency and effectiveness
Child and adolescent mental health socio-ecological approach
Team Effectiveness
Depends on: level of administrative support availability of needed resources, including sufficient
time the leadership of the team and the focus, commitment, and motivation of team
membersTeam composition, size, membership,
communication, and support from stakeholder groups (e.g., school and agency staff, community members, parents) also contribute.
Seven Qualities of Effective Teams
Outcomes orientedHighly skilled
membersCommitment to vision
and outcomesHigh standards of
excellence
LeadershipSufficient internal
and external resources
Use experience and feedback to learn
A Partnership…
is “an undertaking to do something together…, a relationship that
consists of shared and/or compatible objectives and an acknowledged distribution of specific roles and responsibilities among the participants which
can be formal, contractual, or voluntary, between two or more parties”
(Partnership Resource Kit, 1995).
Collaborations
Work on change, and practices and policies across region, state, or states.
Generally state level or multi-state formal inter-organizational relationships involving shared authority and responsibility for planning, implementation, and evaluation of a joint effort (Hord, 1986).
Authority is the power and right of a collaboration to take action to accomplish agreed-upon goals.

Are there enough staff for each team?
Are team roles and responsibilities clearly defined?
How are parents engaged early in the process?
How are students engaged in their own planning?
What are the strengths & challenges of Tier 1 supports?
What Tier 2 interventions are available?
What Tier 3 interventions are available?
Identify External Linkages
What resources & existing linkages are available within the school?
At the community/ county level, what kind of resources are available?
How can the school link with new resources?
How is student voice considered in identifying needs, supports and external linkages
