  • We have also started an online dialogue asking MH CoP members and others to comment on, edit and add to "mini-summaries" of the evidence and experience with different aspects of school mental health promotion. The first of these mini-summaries are available for comment and editing. The first is a summary of child/youth mental health and its prevalence. The second is a list of relevant behavioural theories to that explain it. The third summary describes the school's role in MH promotion and cites models/frameworks that describe that role. The fourth mini-summary is on multi-intervention programs in school mental health. Go to the SMH Toolbox, scroll down through the toolbox to find and read these three summaries and their related research and tools. Then go to our page on Draft Mini-Summaries on SMH and add your opinion or edits. Use the "thread" tool at the bottom of the page to add comments or use the "easy edit" tool at the top of the page to open up the document so that you can add or edit the text.
