Abstract: There is a significant research to practice gap in the area of mental health practices and interventions in schools. Understanding the teacher perspective can provide important information about contextual influences that can be used to bridge the research to practice gap in school-based mental health practices. The purpose of this study was to examine teachers’ perceptions of current mental health needs in their schools; their knowledge, skills, training experiences and training needs; their roles for supporting children’s mental health; and barriers to supporting mental health needs in their school settings. Participants included 292 teachers from 5 school districts. Teachers reported viewing school psychologists as having a primary role in most aspects of mental health service delivery in the school including conducting screening and behavioral assessments, monitoring student progress, and referring children to school-based or community services. Teachers perceived themselves as having primary responsibility for implementing classroom-based behavioral interventions but believed school psychologists had a greater role in teaching social emotional lessons. Teachers also reported a global lack of experience and training for supporting children’s mental health needs. Implications of the findings are discussed.

TL;DR: A review of the literature on the impact that collaboration has on academic and/or social or behavioral outcomes for students with disabilities is presented in this article. But, although the studies generally support collaboration for improved student outcomes, this finding is tentative at best, given the small number of studies representing a variety of research designs and collaboration models.

TL;DR: Patterns of parent involvement as perceived by teachers and correlates of these patterns were explored to help teachers feel more comfortable working with families who may be experiencing substantial stressors and who also have children who need support across school and home settings.

TL;DR: Typologies of parenting practices using latent profile analysis (LPA) in a sample of families with young children who had externalizing behavior disorders provide markers of the most common parenting profiles at entry into treatment programs for behavior disorders in young children.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors report findings of a point prevalence survey conducted in a core "National Antimicrobial Consumption Network site" under National Centre for Disease Control - WHO project "Point prevalence survey of antimicrobial consumption at healthcare facilities" in a tertiary care hospital in India in December 2021.
