The Guidelines for School-Community Partnerships is the result of
a two-year effort on the part of the ICMHP’s School Age Committee. It is
intended to be an important resource for helping implement a comprehensive,
coordinated children’s mental health system comprised of prevention, early
intervention and treatment programs and services for children ages birth to
eighteen. Local and statewide cross system collaborations and shared ownership
for the mental health and social and emotional development of school-age
children are crucial to reaching this goal. The Guidelines identifies key
development steps to support a sustainable structure wherein all members share
in the research, design, implementation and evaluation of efforts undertaken
collectively to assure the academic success and good mental health of school
age children and youth. Click here or on the link at right for a pdf of the complete Guidelines.
