This American article draws on an ecological-mediational model for school-based mental health services that links factors in the school environment to children's mental health and academic achievement. School influences are mediated by the teachers' role in promoting mental wellness among students. A mental health services delivery model that incorporates school social workers as resources to teachers, families and children is discussed as an approach to promote and expand prevention, identification, and treatment of child emotional and behavioural difficulties in school settings.
