Abstract: | Mental health problems across the lifespan represent a significant international health burden, the consequences of which are often underestimated by policy makers. Education services can make a significant contribution to the promotion of positive mental health through school-level preventive and remedial interventions targeted at social, emotional and behavioral difficulties (SEBD). Issues of particular concern include the qualities and skills of effective teachers and teaching in relation to SEBD, and the need for front line educators’ understandings of SEBD to be located within a biopsychosocial paradigm. Various empirically validated psychologically-based interventions (e.g., behavioral, cognitive-behavioral and ecosystemic), along with strengths-based approaches (e.g., resilience and positive education) provide a valuable basis for the continuing development of policy and practice. |
