Summary

Local partnerships between schools (preschool and elementary) and mental health public services are implemented in seven sites in France. They aim to improve recognition of difficulties related to mental health problems and to provide interventions to 3 to 8 years-old pupils in need. Our hypothesis that these local partnerships and interventions enhance the role of school in supporting good mental health and wellbeing of all children and the trajectories of children with mental health service needs. Theses also facilitate community support. One of them, early-interventions involve caregivers. Our objective is to enhance knowledge of the unmet mental healthcare need at school and to explore for whom, in which local context and how partnerships and early intervention work.

Conditions

  • School Difficulties Associated With Mental Health Problems

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Questionnaires at the start and end of the school year

Interventions will be proposed to children identified in a worrisome situation. The Strengths and Difficulties. Questionnaire will be used by teachers to score these situations. The recognition process of mental health problem and need continue with responses. Responses are supporting a graduated response process in school and facilitating external support when needed (mental health services, community supports). Early intervention is one of all responses, which involve caregivers. Responses to worrisome situations aim to improve schooling conditions, to acknowledge mental health problems or condition and the health services need for children. To evaluate the intervention, the impact supplement of SDQ and the follow-up questions will be used by the teachers and the parents of children who benefit of the intervention. The interventions will be experimented during year 2020-21. Children might benefit of them from several weeks to one year, according to their need.
