Introduction to the Special Issue of School Mental Health on Best Practices in Effective Multi-tiered Intervention Frameworks

Contemporary concerns regarding the mental health of children and adolescents in schools require multi-tiered systems of support across key areas of mental health conditions. This introduction outlines the rationale of a special issue on multi-tiered systems of support for common mental health disorders that may impact social, academic, and behavioral functioning. The special issue of School Mental Health includes articles addressing intervention frameworks to address bullying, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, aggression, suicide, high-functioning autism, anxiety, and the impact of trauma.
