- W135050804 abstract "Jefferson County Zchool District, the largest school district in Colorado, comaissioned a study to examine the type and extent of mental health needs of elementary school children, the impact of these needs, and appropriate recommendations for the district. Elementary schools were ranked according to estimated socioeconomic status of the students and 20 representative schools were chosen for the study. Since the high costs of measuring the children's unmet mental health needs were prohibitive, the study focused on educator's perceptions to answer its major questions. Over 400 educators serving as participants included principals, teachers, and the members of each school's Special Education and Related Services team. A questionnaire was used which focused on self-image, relationships with peers and adults, school skills and competencies, and other behavioral/emotional concerns. Participants were also interviewed. Results showed that educators perceived numerous unmet mental health needs involving 15-30 percent of the elementary school students and most felt these needs were increasing. Self-image ranked as the greatest need, followed by interpersonal relationships, and school skills and competencies. It is recommended that the educational community take immediate, bold steps to address the mental health needs of children.

CoodkVi; TO THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER (ERIC) Paper presented at the annual meeting of the American Educational Research Association, San Francisco, CA, March 1989. 2 BEST COPY AVAIL ABLE Elementary School Children's Mental Health Needs: Educators' Perceptions and Implications for Practice The purpose of this paper is to describe an extensive survey of educators in a large metropolitan school district in terms of their perceptions of the unmet mental health needs of elementary school children in the district. The impetus for the survey was an external audit of the district's Student Guidance Services Program. The visiting audit team found services well in place for secondary school students, but not at the elementary level (the district does not have elementary school counselors). The team recommended that the district initiate a quality developmental preventative elementary counseling program. District officials considered that such a response would lack financial feasibility, gi ven current budget constraints. However, the district did commission us to do a study in 1987 to answer three central questions: (1) What are the type and extent of the unmet mental health needs of elementary school children in the district? (2) How do these unmet needs impact the effectiveness of the children's -,:-± .:x.N1 teachers? (3) What recommendations are appropriate for practitioners in the district (in light of the answers to the first two questions)? The district also provided a broad definition to guide the s udy. Mental health needs were defined as those needs related to the development of a positive self image, to building healthy relationships with peers and adults, and to acquiring the skills that enable one to function appropriately in the school setting. While broad and school-based, this definition corresponds well with the general breadth of mental heaittdefinitions (e.g., Dougherty, Saxe, Cross, & S i lye rman, 1987)." @default.
