“…Another particularly important extension would be exploration of the extent and prevalence of service gaps among other populations. Our study was conducted in Israel, where community mental health services are highly accessible (Raviv et al 2007), and among a self-selected sample from a middle-class population. Therefore, our findings may not reflect the situation in all parts of the population and in all social strata.…”

We investigated the gap between parents' willingness to seek help for their children and their willingness to refer other parents to help, and the relationship of this gap to gender. Two hundred and eleven parent couples with elementary-school children reported their willingness to seek help from professional and informal sources for a hypothetical problem with their child, and their willingness to refer a friend's child with an identical problem to similar help. Attitudes toward help seeking and parental behaviors were also measured. Findings revealed that parents were more willing to refer a friend's child to professional help than they were to seek such help for their own child, although no gap was found regarding informal help. No gender differences were found regarding willingness to seek help or to refer another, although gender was related to variables that predicted help seeking.

“…The designated tasks entrusted to educational psychologists working with children and adolescents in Israel also include providing professional services at times of national and individual emergencies and crises (Israel Ministry of Education, 2010; Kohavi et al, 2020). In emergencies, educational psychologists are among the first responders (Raviv et al, 2007), even in crises that do not directly involve students enrolled in schools (Kohavi et al, 2020). Educational psychology interventions following crises are usually short‐term supportive interventions aimed at quickly and efficiently tackling the current problem and helping the child regain balance and restore calm (Ashkenazi et al, 2014; Levinson, 2018).…”

The present study describes the successful operation of an online forum designed to answer questions posted by Israeli elementary-school children during an emergency exercise.Analysis of 212 posts revealed that being younger predict higher levels of emotional intensity. Younger children are 3.561 times more likely than older children to have an increase in emotional intensity. Overall, the model accounted for 5.5% of the variance in emotional intensity. School-based online forums may be used as a universal screening method to enable school staff to identify children exhibiting enhanced emotional intensity. Given the restrictions on face-to-face interactions that are occasionally necessitated by the worldwide COVID-19 crisis, this approach is particularly relevant nowadays. Detailed appendices are provided to help plan, initiate, and run such forums.
