Significantly revised with 70% new material grounded in a multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) framework, this is the definitive guide to addressing depression, anxiety, and other internalizing problems in K–12 students. School-based practitioners learn effective ways to assess and intervene with children and adolescents who have greater needs while promoting social–emotional well-being for all. The authors review best practices for identifying depression and anxiety risk factors, strengthening protective factors, and engaging students, families, and teachers in collaborative, culturally responsive problem solving. This highly accessible book translates science into concrete action via practical examples, case studies, implementation guides, and 45 downloadable/reproducible tools.
