Abstract
Adolescence is a critical period for the promotion of mental health and the treatment of mental disorders. Schools are well-positioned to address adolescent mental health. This paper describes a school mental health model, “School-based Pathway to Care,” for Canadian secondary schools that links schools to primary care providers, mental health services, and the wider community, enabling them to address youth mental health in a collaborative manner. The model highlights the fundamental role of mental health literacy, gatekeeper training, and education/health system integration in improving adolescent mental health, and enhancing learning environments and academic outcomes.
Résumé
L’adolescence constitue une période critique pour la promotion de la santé mentale ainsi que le traitement des désordres mentaux. En ce sens, les écoles sont bien placées pour s’attaquer aux problèmes de santé mentale vécus par les adolescents. Cet article trace le portrait d’un modèle de santé mentale en milieu scolaire, le modèle “School-based Pathway to Care”, modèle déployé au sein d’écoles secondaires canadiennes. Celui-ci met en lien les établissements scolaires avec les institutions fournissant des soins de santé de base et des services de santé mentale. Ce faisant, il permet aux différents intervenants de collaborer, s’attaquant ainsi ensemble aux problématiques de santé mentale des jeunes. Ce modèle souligne l’importance de la littérature portant sur la santé mentale, de la formation des surveillants et de l’intégration des systèmes d’éducation et de santé dans l’amélioration de la santé mentale des adolescents, des environnements scolaires et des résultats académiques.
