"In this book, Hess, Short, and Hazel provide answers to questions that have plagued the field of school psychology for decades, regarding how to expand psychological services in schools to address population needs. It fills an important niche for those interested in adopting a public health approach to school-based mental health services and for school psychologists interested in broad-based service delivery." - Bonnie K. Nastasi, PhD, Associate Professor, Tulane University

"School psychologists will recognize themselves in the familiar descriptions of consultation, collaboration, and data-based problem solving, and they will appreciate the book¿s concise and effective explanations of less familiar topics including applied epidemiology and practice-guiding logic models. Ultimately, the invaluable contribution of the book is weaving together these familiar and unfamiliar topics into a potent image of what school mental health practice can become: a practice that embeds mental health supports into the daily lives of children in our communities. Readers will understand the power of this vision and will be convinced that they possess the skills to realize it." - Beth J. Doll, EdD, Professor and Director, School Psychology Program, University of Nebraska - Lincoln.
