Abstract
Counseling Psychology in Schools: Prevention and Early Intervention for Child and Adolescent Mental Disorders
Highlights
Given increasing demands at school, coupled with increasing violence and home and school, more and more students are displaying symptoms of anxiety and depression, and at increasingly earlier ages. In response to these challenges, counseling and clinical psychologists have argued for a paradigm shift away from the traditional educational/school psychology model to providing more comprehensive services focused on school-based family treatments as well as testing students’ ability and psychological functioning [1] the goal of this shift is to better meet the academic, emotional, social needs of 21st century students
There is a need for school-based experienced, seasoned clinicians with advanced level training in evidence-based practices. Psychologists in this role will be skilled enough to work with individual students and their families, gathering information via testing to identify areas of concern or pathology to further inform treatment and individual education plans, even in crisis situations
We believe that a seasoned and highly skilled clinician who is a member of the faculty will help improve follow-through with treatment recommendations, and that it will have subsequent implications for retention, and by extension, academic outcomes
Summary
Given increasing demands at school, coupled with increasing violence and home and school, more and more students are displaying symptoms of anxiety and depression, and at increasingly earlier ages. *Corresponding author: Keith Klostermann, Medaille College, USA Submission: June 10, 2019 Volume 4 - Issue 5 How to cite this article: Theresa M, Keith K* and Melissa M.
