“…Figure 1 used meta-analysis to combine results [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28], whereas the remaining nine SRs narratively 182 synthesized results [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37]. Eleven SRs included studies located in countries with high-183 income or upper-middle income economies only [19,20,[23][24][25][29][30][31][32][33]37,38,39]. Six SRs 184 included at least one study from countries with lower-middle income or lower income 185 economies [18,21,22,28,35,36].…”

“…The effectiveness of school-based mental health services was assessed in nine SRs (Table 3c) [19,23,24,28,29,[32][33][34]36,39]. SRs addressed various intervention types: universal interventions [19,24,28,32,34,39]; targeted interventions for military-connected children [29], children and adolescents at risk for depression and/or anxiety [28,34], refugee and war-traumatized youth [36], and children referred to therapy [33]; and indicated interventions for children and/or adolescents diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder [23], depression [24,28,39], or anxiety [24,34,39].…”

24Schools are the only institution regularly reaching the majority of school-age children 25 and adolescents across the globe. Although at least 102 countries have school health services, 26 there is no rigorous, evidence-based guidance on which school health services are effective 27 42 3 48 healthy setting for living, learning and working" [1]. In 2000, WHO, the United Nations 49 Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the United Nations Children's 50 Fund (UNICEF) and the World Bank developed a partnership for Focusing Resources on 51 Effective School Health -a FRESH Start approach [2]. The FRESH framework promotes 52 four pillars: health-related school policies, provision of safe water and sanitation, skills-based 53 health education and school-based health and nutrition services [2]. While various guidance 54 documents have been published by United Nations (UN) organizations addressing a range of 55 services from oral health to malaria [3-7], there is no internationally accepted guideline 56 regarding school health services. This systematic review of systematic reviews, henceforth 57 referred to as an overview, will inform the upcoming development of a WHO guideline that 58 addresses one pillar of the FRESH framework: school health services delivered by a health 59 provider. 60 Schools offer a unique platform for health care delivery. In 2015, the global means for 61 the primary and secondary net school enrollment rates were 90% and 65%, respectively, thus 62 the potential reach of school health services is wide [8]. Additionally, a recent review found 63 that school-based or school-linked health services already exist in at least 102 countries [9]. 64 The 2017 Global Accelerated Action for the Health of Adolescents (AA-HA!) 65 implementation guidance calls for the prioritization of school health programs as an 66 important step towards universal health coverage and urges that "Every school should be a 67 health promoting school" [10]. 68 The primary objective of this overview was to explore the effectiveness of school-69 based or school-linked health services delivered by a health provider for improving the health 70 of school-age children and adolescents. Through a comprehensive literature search, the 71 overview aimed to identify health areas and specific school health service interventions that 72 have at least some evidence of effectiveness. It was also designed to suggest further research 4 73 in areas where recent systematic reviews (SRs) exist, but with insufficient evidence. Finally, 74 the overview aimed to identify the health areas and specific school health services 75 interventions for which no SRs were found, whether because the primary literature does not 76 exist or where there are primary studies but no SR has been conducted. 77 METHODS 78This overview was conducted using the preferred reporting items for systematic 79 reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) [11]. A protocol was developed a priori that outlined 80 the overview objectives, aims, operational definitions, search ...

The spirit of time and the spirit of depth: Psychodynamic approaches in public mental health services in Israel

This article examines the interplay between psychodynamic psychotherapy and other approaches to psychotherapy in mental health services in Israel, describing the history of psychotherapy approaches, education and training, current dilemmas and service examples. Israel has a system of universal healthcare, education and social care which includes mental health services for all citizens and permanent residents. Mental health services and interventions are provided by psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, educational psychologists, social workers, clinical criminologists and creative arts therapists. Despite being public, accessibility is undermined by long waiting times, inequitable geographic distributions and cultural-linguistic barriers. The interplay between approaches is clearly visible in public mental health services. Many therapists are trained primarily in psychodynamic approaches and receive psychodynamic-oriented supervision. However, public services often cannot provide suitable conditions for psychodynamic oriented psychotherapy, and the therapists are required to adjust their interventions to treatment plans, reimbursement and reporting.This paper describes in detail two programs that implement psychodynamic approaches in the medical and education systems respectively. The first is "Lkol Nefesh" ("for every

To determine the efficacy of intervention programs for young children (4–9 years) with emerging mental health needs, we conducted a review of meta-analytic and systematic reviews of the intervention literature. Of 41,061 abstracts identified and 15,076 screened, 152 review articles met the inclusion criteria. We reviewed interventions across multiple disciplines targeting: (1) general mental health concerns; (2) internalizing symptoms; (3) externalizing symptoms; (4) anxiety; (5) depression; (6) trauma; (7) symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder; and (8) mental health concerns associated with autism spectrum disorder. Substantial evidence was found for the efficacy of behavioral and cognitive behavioral interventions for general mental health concerns, externalizing symptoms (generally, as well as ADHD, conduct, and other behavioral symptoms) and internalizing symptoms (generally, as well as anxiety) aged 4–9 years. Emerging evidence was identified for interventions targeting trauma symptoms, depression symptoms, and social, emotional and behavioral symptoms in autism spectrum disorder in children aged 4–9 years. Currently there is only limited emerging evidence regarding non-behavioral or non-cognitive behavioral interventions for programs targeting children ages 4–9 years where the aim is to deliver an evidence-based program to improve child social, emotional and/or behavioral functioning. Given the recent rises in mental health needs reported in children, targeted behavioral-and/or cognitive behavior therapy-based interventions should be made widely available to children (and their families) who experience elevated symptoms.
