Abstract

This qualitative study investigates the development of the Integrative School Based Mental Health Services ("ISBMHS") Model, an initiative for delivering school-based mental health services (SBMHS) in educational settings. This model is implemented through a collaborative partnership between the County Office of Education (COE) and the local Department of Health Services, which grants schools Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) status to access Medicaid and sustain SBMHS. Researchers conducted interviews with 23 key stakeholders (i.e., COE leaders, school-based clinicians, county health partners, and school administrators) to understand the model's development. Thematic analysis revealed four themes: 1) leveraging a multi-tiered approach for systemic change, 2) prioritizing equity to address disparities in mental health care access, 3) utilizing innovative financing to bridge education and health sectors, and 4) building relationships and trust to facilitate cross-system partnerships. The model seeks to provide schools with a holistic approach to transform mental health care in schools.

以创新和可持续的方式提供以学校为基础的心理健康和保健服务。

本定性研究调查了以学校为基础的综合心理健康服务（“ISBMHS”）模式的发展，这是一项在教育环境中提供以学校为基础的心理健康服务（SBMHS）的倡议。该模式是通过县教育办公室（COE）和当地卫生服务部（Department of Health Services）之间的合作伙伴关系实施的，后者授予学校联邦合格卫生中心（FQHC）资格，以获得医疗补助并维持SBMHS。研究人员对23个关键利益相关者（即COE领导、学校临床医生、县卫生合作伙伴和学校管理人员）进行了访谈，以了解该模型的发展。专题分析揭示了四个主题：1)利用多层次方法进行系统变革；2)优先考虑公平以解决精神卫生保健获取方面的差距；3)利用创新融资弥合教育和卫生部门之间的鸿沟；4)建立关系和信任以促进跨系统伙伴关系。该模式旨在为学校提供一种全面的方法，以改变学校的心理保健。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Prevention & Intervention in the Communityis on the cutting edge of social action and change, not only covering current thought and developments, but also defining future directions in the field. Under the editorship of Joseph R. Ferrari since 1995, Prevention in Human Services was retitled as the Journal of Prevention & Intervention in the Communityto reflect its focus of providing professionals with information on the leading, effective programs for community intervention and prevention of problems. Because of its intensive coverage of selected topics and the sheer length of each issue, the Journal of Prevention & Intervention in the Community is the first-and in many cases, primary-source of information for mental health and human services development.
