“…One study found that only 23% of students with mental health problems had visited their SBHC. 16 Another demonstrated that difficulty getting a teacher's permission to leave class and needing parent consent for clinic enrollment were barriers to using SBHCs. 17 A systematic review from the Community Guide Branch of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention highlighted the dis-to students already receiving mental health services.…”

Despite the resources available at SBHCs, students face barriers to help-seeking. SBHCs can help teachers and school staff gain awareness of mental health issues and services available to students. The students' recommendations-making SBHCs more comfortable, raising mental health awareness, and bolstering connections with school and SBHC staff-may improve engagement in mental health services at schools with SBHCs.

The importance of school‐based health centers (SBHCs) in overall prevention and health promotion programming is growing as they become increasingly common in schools. SBHCs can improve access to comprehensive physical and mental health services for children and families, and make a significant contribution to universal prevention efforts in schools. Partnering with school‐based health centers in the overall prevention and health promotion programming provides an opportunity for school psychologists to broaden their impact on the entire school population. This article describes the role and primary functions of SBHCs and how these centers can provide important prevention and health promotion services for children and adolescents. Research regarding SBHCs' primary prevention outcomes is also reviewed with the goal of providing school psychologists the necessary background to work collaboratively with SBHCs. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…Recognizing this problem, the school environment has been promoted as a venue where the mental health needs of youth can be addressed with fewer barriers to services. 7 In a study of SBHC mental health services use patterns in Nova Scotia, Santor et al 8 found that while 1 in 5 students screened at risk for mood disturbance (Beck Depression Inventory), only 1 in 20 used mental health services offered by the SBHC. Comparable visit statistics were found for the 13% of students who identified as experiencing emotional and social problems.…”
