Abstract

It is important to review a few key concepts, address the school context, explore the sustainability of new mental health programming, and look at how families and schools can work together. In addition, a look to the future is considered by briefly exploring the so-called third wave of CBT to include therapies such as dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness cognitive therapy, although these interventions may need more school-based research support before they would be chosen over other evidence-based interventions already available. The influence of technology in school-based mental health intervention is briefly discussed, as this trend will surely continue. The infusion of emotion science into CBT is advocated along with several examples of curricula already under development.
