Ashley Rose – School-Based Mental Health: Best Practices and Evidence-Based Interventions for Successful Treatment in a Complex Setting

Description of School-Based Mental Health

The role of a school-based mental health provider is complex, nuanced, and multi-faceted.

• Develop positive working relationships with teachers, administration, and support staff
• Provide evidence-based strategies and interventions for anxiety, depression, ADHD, oppositional behavior, and more
• Navigate the gray area of protecting confidentiality in such a public setting
• And more!
