Abstract
The article presents background to the international movement to enhance mental health promotion and intervention programs in schools and discusses factors behind the growth of the movement, and the paradigmatic change that is occurring as programs move to a focus on health promotion, environmental enhancement, interdisciplinary collaboration, and leadership by young people, families and other stakeholders. Hundreds of issues are being confronted as school mental health programs develop in various nations, and international dialogue is of critical importance in sharing ideas and lessons learnt in addressing these issues and advancing this emerging field. We set the stage for discussions of issues important for the advancement of school mental health from the perspective of people from five nations: Australia, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
