These specialists not only provide medical insight but also emotional stability for the students, since these practitioners come from outside of the school “bubble,” away from the regular school faculty,  whom students feel uncomfortable revealing mental distress to. While teachers should be educated in mental health as well, an increased number of mental health counselors should administer students’ mental health needs through one-on-one therapy and screening.]]> 2018-08-16 18:45:43 UTC https://padlet.com/gcouloubaritsis/7gpzkjxqeywj/wish/273570834 Evidence of the Problem gcouloubaritsis https://padlet.com/gcouloubaritsis/7gpzkjxqeywj/wish/273626723 Between 2009 and 2015, the number of students visiting counseling centers increased by about 30% on average, while enrollment grew by less than 6%, the Center for Collegiate Mental Health found in a 2015 report. ]]> 2018-08-17 00:58:32 UTC https://padlet.com/gcouloubaritsis/7gpzkjxqeywj/wish/273626723 Evidence of the Problem gcouloubaritsis https://padlet.com/gcouloubaritsis/7gpzkjxqeywj/wish/273626800 The international center of counseling services recommends that the counselor ratio should be 1 for every 1 to 1,600 students, since students’ mental disorders and poor mental health has increased, waiting list will decrease, liability risks to the school and counselors decrease, and opportunities to treat students with severe mental disorders increase. ]]> 2018-08-17 00:59:22 UTC https://padlet.com/gcouloubaritsis/7gpzkjxqeywj/wish/273626800 Evidence of the Problem gcouloubaritsis https://padlet.com/gcouloubaritsis/7gpzkjxqeywj/wish/273626901 Trend in the shortage of counselors]]> 2018-08-17 01:00:10 UTC https://padlet.com/gcouloubaritsis/7gpzkjxqeywj/wish/273626901 Evidence of the Problem gcouloubaritsis https://padlet.com/gcouloubaritsis/7gpzkjxqeywj/wish/273626945 Over 1.7 million youth with major depressive episodes did not receive treatment (rates of severe youth depression have increased within the last 5 years from 5.9% to 8.2%) ]]> 2018-08-17 01:00:34 UTC https://padlet.com/gcouloubaritsis/7gpzkjxqeywj/wish/273626945 Barriers gcouloubaritsis https://padlet.com/gcouloubaritsis/7gpzkjxqeywj/wish/273627002 Disorganized collaboration of Mental Health services ]]> 2018-08-17 01:01:12 UTC https://padlet.com/gcouloubaritsis/7gpzkjxqeywj/wish/273627002 Evidence of Argument gcouloubaritsis https://padlet.com/gcouloubaritsis/7gpzkjxqeywj/wish/273627192 "School counselors are well-positioned resources"

counter-argument: These "burnouts" and counselors' fatigue stem from the heavy case load and many patients; an increased counselor presence would create more stability for the students but also for the professionals.

“It’s a huge issue,” said Amanda Nickerson, director of the Alberti Center for Bullying Abuse Prevention at the University at Buffalo Graduate School of Education, who is attending the annual convention in Chicago of the National Association of School Psychologists. “We do not have enough mental health professionals to meet the increasingly complex needs of the students that are walking through the door.”

The results were disheartening, to say the least. While two-thirds of the surveyed teachers held graduate degrees, and the remaining third had earned undergraduate degrees, more than 80 percent had never heard of some of the interventions or strategies their own school utilized. Half of the teachers surveyed did not know if their schools provided functional behavioral assessment or intervention planning at all. Given that the response rate for this study was only 50 percent—and it’s likely that teachers with a heightened interest in student mental health would be more likely to respond to the survey—these results probably overstate teachers’ understanding of the tools their own school districts use to support students’ mental and emotional health.

Dr. Michael Hollander, Assistant Professor in Psychology at Harvard Medical School and director of Training and Consultations on the 3East Dialectical Behavioral Therapy program at McLean Hospital in Belmont, Massachusetts, urges teachers to use caution when intervening in students’ mental-health crises. “In my experience, teacher response tends to be bi-modal; either they get solicitous, over-involved, and in over their head, or they mistake mental health issues for behavioral problems that require in-class discipline.”]]> 2018-08-17 13:39:57 UTC https://padlet.com/gcouloubaritsis/7gpzkjxqeywj/wish/273708325 evidence of problemt gcouloubaritsis https://padlet.com/gcouloubaritsis/7gpzkjxqeywj/wish/273922818 2018-08-19 19:19:58 UTC https://padlet.com/gcouloubaritsis/7gpzkjxqeywj/wish/273922818 Storyboard gcouloubaritsis https://padlet.com/gcouloubaritsis/7gpzkjxqeywj/wish/275103233 2018-08-24 11:23:40 UTC https://padlet.com/gcouloubaritsis/7gpzkjxqeywj/wish/275103233 Link to Video gcouloubaritsis https://padlet.com/gcouloubaritsis/7gpzkjxqeywj/wish/275104776 2018-08-24 11:37:48 UTC https://padlet.com/gcouloubaritsis/7gpzkjxqeywj/wish/275104776
