Operating under the auspices of the School Mental Health Project at UCLA, the National Center for Mental Health in Schools was established in 1995. Their mission and aims are to improve outcomes for young people by enhancing the field of mental health in schools.
Because they know that schools are not in the mental health business, all their work approaches mental health and psychosocial concerns in ways that integrally connect such efforts with school reform and improvement. They do this by integrating health and related concerns into the broad perspective of addressing barriers to learning and promoting healthy development. They clarify the need to restructure current policy, practice, research, and training to enable development of a comprehensive and cohesive approach that is an essential and primary component at every school. They stress that without a comprehensive component for addressing barriers to learning, many students cannot benefit from instructional reforms, and thus, achievement scores will not rise in the way current accountability pressures demand.
