Despite the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/kffhealthnews.org\/news\/article\/parents-health-spiral-kids-mental-illness\/\">increased demand<\/a>\u00a0for their services, there\u2019s simply not enough professionals in these fields to go around.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, the American School Counselor Association recommends that there be\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/schoolcounselor.org\/About-School-Counseling\/School-Counselor-Roles-Ratios\">one school counselor for every 250 students<\/a>. However, in the 2021-22 school year \u2013 the most recent year for which data are available \u2013 the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/schoolcounselor.org\/getmedia\/b9d453e7-7c45-4ef7-bf90-16f1f3cbab94\/Ratios-21-22-Alpha.pdf\">ratio of school counselors to students was one for every 408 students<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, the National Association of School Psychologists recommends\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasponline.org\/standards-and-certification\/nasp-practice-model\/about-the-nasp-practice-model\">one school psychologist for every 500 students<\/a>. But the ratio of school psychologists to students stands at just\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasponline.org\/about-school-psychology\/state-shortages-data-dashboard\">one for every 1,127 students<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration is well aware of the shortage and has taken action to close the gap.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, in 2021, U.S. Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy issued an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hhs.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/surgeon-general-youth-mental-health-advisory.pdf\">advisory<\/a>\u00a0that calls for, among other things,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hhs.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/surgeon-general-youth-mental-health-advisory.pdf\">expanding the mental health workforce in schools<\/a>\u00a0by using federal, state and local funds.<\/p>\n<p>President Joe Biden released a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2022\/03\/01\/fact-sheet-president-biden-to-announce-strategy-to-address-our-national-mental-health-crisis-as-part-of-unity-agenda-in-his-first-state-of-the-union\/\">Mental Health Strategy<\/a>\u00a0in 2022 that seeks to provide mental health care to more children. And in May 2023, the Biden administration announced\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ed.gov\/news\/press-releases\/today-biden-harris-administration-announcing-more-95-million-awards-across-35-states-increase-access-school-based-mental-health-services-and-strengthen-pipeline-mental-health-professionals-high-needs-school-districts-t\">US$286 million for 264 grantees<\/a>\u00a0to train and hire school mental health professionals \u2013 a move that grantees say will enable them to prepare more than 14,000 new mental health professionals for America\u2019s schools. That\u2019s a significant number, but schools would need to hire more than five times that amount to meet recommended ratios.<\/p>\n<p>As a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/citations?user=0iIu5qwAAAAJ&amp;hl=en&amp;oi=ao\">professor of school psychology<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 and as a recipient of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/education.ufl.edu\/news\/2023\/02\/08\/uf-and-acps-grant-will-work-to-expand-school-based-mental-health-services\/\">one of those grants<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 I also know that as important as it is to train more school counselors and school psychologists, increasing their numbers alone is not enough to change the course of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC8890771\/\">rising mental health needs<\/a>\u00a0among America\u2019s children and youth. That is, doubling staffing of mental health professionals in schools doesn\u2019t guarantee they will be used effectively or appropriately. Without accompanying changes to school systems and priorities, I fear the mental health needs among our youth will continue to accelerate, as it did\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/mmwr\/volumes\/69\/wr\/mm6945a3.htm?s_cid=mm6945a3_w\">during the pandemic<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>To address this challenge, I see three areas where schools need to revamp the way they meet students\u2019 mental health needs.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>1. Free up school counselors and school psychologists<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Research, including\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0190740914003673\">my own<\/a>, shows that school-based mental health professionals are overwhelmed with job duties that are outside the scope of supporting students\u2019 mental health. For instance, school counselors also\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/0038040720932563\">serve as the testing coordinators in most schools<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>School psychologists report\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/eric.ed.gov\/?id=EJ1013688\">being overloaded with evaluations<\/a>\u00a0to determine if students are eligible for special education services. About one-third of those responding to a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasponline.org\/research-and-policy\/research-center\/member-surveys\">recent membership survey<\/a>\u00a0of the National Association of School Psychologists indicated they don\u2019t provide mental health interventions and services at all.<\/p>\n<p>These school counselors and school psychologists report that about\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/s12310-022-09535-0\">25% to 50% of their day is consumed with paperwork and other miscellaneous duties<\/a>. Constantly working outside their areas of expertise and desired practice is leading to burnout that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/indianacapitalchronicle.com\/2023\/07\/17\/a-crisis-of-their-own-indiana-school-counselors-detail-overwhelming-duties-pushing-some-out\/\">leads many to leave the field<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>To alleviate the situation, schools could search for ways to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/ajcp.12314\">shift tasks<\/a>\u00a0that don\u2019t require specialized knowledge, such as test coordination and certain types of paper work, to staff with less extensive and expensive training.<\/p>\n<p>This would allow current school mental health practitioners \u2013 and the additional\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ed.gov\/news\/press-releases\/today-biden-harris-administration-announcing-more-95-million-awards-across-35-states-increase-access-school-based-mental-health-services-and-strengthen-pipeline-mental-health-professionals-high-needs-school-districts-t\">14,000 the Biden administration hopes to bring into the field<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 to engage in the wider range of services their students need. This could be a way to better align their practice with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasponline.org\/standards-and-certification\/nasp-practice-model\/nasp-practice-model-overview\">the recommendations of their professional associations<\/a>\u00a0and potentially lead to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full\/10.1002\/jcad.12299\">more job satisfaction<\/a>\u00a0and less burnout.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>2. Make time for mental health in schools<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>In my work with school districts across the Southeast, mental health professionals are being hired but then restricted to working with kids only during the student\u2019s lunchtime or certain classes, such as art, music or physical education. Although I don\u2019t advocate for children missing class, I also don\u2019t think it\u2019s a good idea for children to work on self-regulation strategies or investigate negative belief patterns while eating a hot dog or missing their favorite extracurricular. It also limits the number of students any one professional can support during a school day.<\/p>\n<p>Some schools around the world have\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oecd.org\/publications\/more-time-at-school-1f50c70d-en.htm\">extended the school day<\/a>. Some in the U.S. have moved to a year-round schedule with positive effects, such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/jlarc.virginia.gov\/pdfs\/reports\/Rpt430.pdf\">improved achievement scores for students from low-income and minority backgrounds<\/a>. Perhaps by rethinking the school day and the school year, more school time could be made for mental health professionals to take a holistic approach to all the areas a child may need instruction and support.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>3. Prioritize prevention<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Prioritizing prevention includes promoting a positive school climate and teaching healthy habits for maintaining one\u2019s mental well-being to all youth. A positive school climate \u2013 including social, emotional and physical safety, respectful behavior, an emphasis on learning, and social connectedness with peers and teachers \u2013 is shown to reduce\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2105\/AJPH.2008.142919\">risky behaviors<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.jadohealth.2020.09.030\">aggression<\/a>. It also\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.jadohealth.2020.09.030\">increases positive mental health outcomes<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/rev3.3043\">academic success<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Teaching life skills, like being aware of one\u2019s own and other people\u2019s emotions, what\u2019s causing the emotions, how to manage them in healthy ways and where to seek help, has also been shown to prevent the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/cdev.12864\">development and escalation of mental illness among children and youth<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>There are\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.schoolmentalhealth.org\/media\/SOM\/Microsites\/NCSMH\/Documents\/Quality-Guides\/Tier-1-Quality-Guide-1.29.20.pdf\">evidence-based<\/a>\u00a0curricula that schools can use to teach and reinforce these skills. For example,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.positiveaction.net\/\">Positive Action<\/a>\u00a0is designed to teach pre-K-to-12th grade students how their thoughts, feelings and behaviors are related. It is taught in classrooms by teachers for about 15 minutes, three to four days each week, for an entire school year.<\/p>\n<p>There is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ies.ed.gov\/ncee\/wwc\/Docs\/InterventionReports\/wwc_positive_action_042307.pdf\">evidence<\/a>\u00a0of large to moderate effects of Positive Action in elementary schools on student\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.jadohealth.2013.06.012\">mental health<\/a>, behavior and academic achievement. If these prevention strategies were prioritized in policy and funding, I believe America\u2019s schools and school mental health professionals would be better positioned to more systematically address the unrelenting rise of children\u2019s mental health needs.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bio:<\/strong> Joni Williams Splett is Associate Professor of School Psychology at the University of Florida<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Of all the challenges that threaten the well-being of America\u2019s schoolchildren, one of the most serious and severe is the lack of school counselors and school psychologists.
