School-Based Mental Health Services for Urban Children

The community mental health consultation model program included collaboration among community mental health providers and (1) parent advocates to effectively maintain families in a school-based mental health program, (2) classroom teachers to enhance children's academic performance, and (3) peer-identified influential teachers to influence classroom teachers' use of behavior management strategies. This model further focused on the strongest teacher and parent predictors of student learning.

TAU included referral to community mental health clinic-based services, where participants received standard care for mental health-related problems.
