Telehealth has been found to be as or more effective for most children and adolescents.
Emotionally healthy students are:
- More likely to have less difficulty engaging in learning and school activities,
- Have supportive and caring connections with adults and young people,
- Use appropriate problem-solving skills, and
- Demonstrate positive/pro-social behaviors.
Between 12 and 22 percent of school-aged children and youth have a diagnosable mental health disorder. Youth spend a significant amount of time in school and academic environments play an increasingly critical role in supporting these students. Schools provide a safe, non-stigmatizing, and supportive natural environment which is often preferred by youth for addressing emotional health needs. In fact, adolescents are more comfortable accessing health care services through school-based clinics and like the idea of accessing services in a single location
