Popis: While a great deal of attention has focused on community-based delivery services for children with mental health needs, the potential of integrating school-based services, such that a comprehensive system of care is implemented, has been largely unrealized. As the school is a significant place for all children and a service delivery setting of great magnitude, this article discusses the necessary interdependence of school and community mental health service systems, especially in light of recent federal, state, and independent initiatives. An analysis of these initiatives is presented, and recommendations toward integrated services are suggested.
