 The family
The role: The first place to
spot trouble is in the home,
whether that trouble is
substance abuse, slipping
grades or a child who sleeps
too much. Adults at home —
parents, siblings, other
relatives — are often the first
to notice something going on.
 The teacher
The role: During the week,
many students see their
teachers even more than their
own families. Teachers are in a
prime spot to notice changes
in behavior. They read essays,
see how students relate with
other kids and notice when
they aren't paying attention.
 The social worker
The role: Social workers act like
a bridge. If teachers come to
them with a concern — maybe a
child is acting withdraw— one of
the first things they'll don is call
home. They see each child
through the lens of their family,
school and community. They
might learn that a family is going
through a divorce or
homelessness.
 The counselor
The role: In some schools,
counselors focus solely on
academics: helping students pick
classes and apply to college. But
in others, they also act a lot like
social workers, serving as a link
to families and working with
students who need support.
The special education teacher
The Role: Special education
teachers may start working with
students when a mental health
problem affects the ability to do
school work. They are primarily
responsible for working on
academic skills.
 The school psychologist
The Role: Here's one job that,
on paper, is truly dedicated to
student mental health. School
psychologists are key players
when it comes to crisis
intervention and can refer
students to outside help, such as
a psychiatrist.
 The school nurse
The role: Most any school nurse
will tell you, physical and mental
health are tough to separate.
That puts nurses in a prime spot
to catch problems early. For
example: A kid who comes into
the nurse's office a lot,
complaining of headaches or
stomach problems? That could
be a sign of anxiety, a strategy to
avoid a bully, or a sign of
troubles at home.
 The principal
The role: As the top dogs in
schools, principals make the big
decisions about priorities. They
can bring in social-emotional,
anti-bullying and suicide-
prevention programs.
