National Comorbidity Replication Survey (Kessler & Associates, 2005)
• Every year, 25% of Americans are diagnosable with a DSM mental disorder (approximately 60% either moderate or serious)
• Nearly 60% will receive no treatment in any given year
• Median delay between onset and treatment - 6 to 23 years for those with lifetime disabilities
• Half of all lifetime diagnosable mental disorders begin by age 14
• “Most people with mental disorders in the United States remain either untreated or poorly treated.”

WHO World Mental Health Survey Consortium (2004)
“Approximately 85% of Americans will not receive health care
treatment for their diagnosable mental or substance-abuse disorder
within a year. More than 70% of them will never receive specialized
mental health care.” (Norcross, 2006, p. 683)

Thomas Insel - Director of the National Institute of Mental Health
Data such as these are indicative of
“a systemic and unacceptable failure in the provision of [mental health] care” in the United States (Insel &
Fenton, 2005, p. 590).
![Page 12: Jane Close Conoley, Ph.D. University of California, Santa Barbara](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/5562fc57d8b42a62598b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
U. S. Surgeon General “The nation is facing a public crisis in mental
healthcare for infants, children and adolescents.” (U.S. Public Health Service, 2000)
The “foremost finding is that most children in
need of mental health services do not get them.” (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,
1999, p. 180)
THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN

OUR HIGHEST PRIORITY GOALS – MOST IMPORTANT JOB ROLES
1. Engage and motivate primary caregivers (e.g.,
teachers, parents) in the lives of children so they take action in behalf of children
2. Give psychology away (Miller, 1969) to primary
caregivers (e.g., teachers, parents) in the lives of children so they take effective action in behalf of
children

Comprehensive programs consist of school readiness, parent involvement that empowers parents to take a role in education across grades K-12, and school-linked services designed to improve achievement by ensuring that the health and social needs of children are met.
![Page 27: Jane Close Conoley, Ph.D. University of California, Santa Barbara](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/5562fc57d8b42a62598b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Policymakers and educators have mostly ignored the nature of interactions between families and schools…this relationship may be “the missing link in school-linked social service programs”
Smrekar (1994)
![Page 28: Jane Close Conoley, Ph.D. University of California, Santa Barbara](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/5562fc57d8b42a62598b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Constructive Connection: The 6 “C”s
• Context • Centrality• Complexity
• Consistency• Communication• Collaboration
![Page 29: Jane Close Conoley, Ph.D. University of California, Santa Barbara](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/5562fc57d8b42a62598b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
CContext
• Site specific
• There is no one prescription
![Page 30: Jane Close Conoley, Ph.D. University of California, Santa Barbara](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/5562fc57d8b42a62598b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Family-School Teams Ask
• What forms of parent participation are desirable and feasible? and
• What strategies can be employed to achieve them?
![Page 31: Jane Close Conoley, Ph.D. University of California, Santa Barbara](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/5562fc57d8b42a62598b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
This team, amongst other things, is a vehicle for establishing a common language, mapping existing school- and community-based resources, and identifying student, family, and staff needs.
![Page 32: Jane Close Conoley, Ph.D. University of California, Santa Barbara](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/5562fc57d8b42a62598b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
CComplex Relationships

• Home and school inputs and resources• Match between home and school
![Page 33: Jane Close Conoley, Ph.D. University of California, Santa Barbara](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/5562fc57d8b42a62598b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Home Inputs
• Include messages about –Effort –Attitudes about the value of learning–Sense of self as a learner
![Page 34: Jane Close Conoley, Ph.D. University of California, Santa Barbara](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/5562fc57d8b42a62598b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
School Inputs
• New experiences • Demands • Opportunities • Rewards
![Page 35: Jane Close Conoley, Ph.D. University of California, Santa Barbara](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/5562fc57d8b42a62598b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
CCentral to Child Development
“If educators view children simply as students, they are likely to see the family as separate from school. That is, the family is expected to do its job and leave the education of children to the schools. If educators view children as children, they are likely to see both the family and community as partners with the school in children's education and development”
Epstein (1995)
![Page 36: Jane Close Conoley, Ph.D. University of California, Santa Barbara](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/5562fc57d8b42a62598b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Family-School Relationships Are Essential
• ADHD (August, Anderson, & Bloomquist, 1992)• Conduct disorders (Reid & Patterson, 1992; Webster-
Stratton 1993)• Social skills deficits (Sheridan, Kratochwill, & Elliott,
1990)• Homework completion difficulties (Jayanthi, sawyer,
nelson, Bursuck, & Epstein, 1995)• Significant improvement in academic achievement
(Hansen, 1986; Heller & Fantuzzo, 1993).
![Page 38: Jane Close Conoley, Ph.D. University of California, Santa Barbara](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/5562fc57d8b42a62598b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
CConsistency Across Systems
• Set realistic expectations• Provide a structure and routine for
learning• Enhance students’ learning
opportunities• Support students’ learning• Establish positive relationships • Model learning
![Page 39: Jane Close Conoley, Ph.D. University of California, Santa Barbara](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/5562fc57d8b42a62598b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

![Page 40: Jane Close Conoley, Ph.D. University of California, Santa Barbara](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/5562fc57d8b42a62598b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
CCommunication: Foundational Element
• Two-way communication is necessary to co-construct the “bigger” picture about the child’s life
• Families and school personnel see the child in their respective environments and jump to conclusions about the child’s behavior in the other environment
![Page 41: Jane Close Conoley, Ph.D. University of California, Santa Barbara](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/5562fc57d8b42a62598b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
CCollaboration
• Equal status between participants (e.g., parents, teachers, students, psychologists, principals)
• A common goal• Adequate leadership and support (e.g.,
school district, state, federal levels)
![Page 42: Jane Close Conoley, Ph.D. University of California, Santa Barbara](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/5562fc57d8b42a62598b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Check and Connect• Model designed to promote student
engagement with school for youth at high risk for dropping out
(Sinclair, Christenson, Evelo, & Hurley, 1997)
![Page 44: Jane Close Conoley, Ph.D. University of California, Santa Barbara](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/5562fc57d8b42a62598b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

• Process entails four separate stages for professionals and families to work together on identifying and solving academic, social-emotional, or behavioral concerns for students:– Problem identification– Problem analysis– Implementation, and– Evaluation
(Sheridan, Kratochwill, & Bergan, 1996)
![Page 45: Jane Close Conoley, Ph.D. University of California, Santa Barbara](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/5562fc57d8b42a62598b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Connecting With Families
• Family school meetings (Weiss & Edwards, 1992),
• Family-school consultation (Carlson, Hickman, & Horton, 1992), and
• Parent-educator problem solving (Christenson, 1995).
![Page 46: Jane Close Conoley, Ph.D. University of California, Santa Barbara](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/5562fc57d8b42a62598b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Comer’s School Development Program
• Illustrates the power of relationships at a systems level
(Comer et al., 1996).
![Page 47: Jane Close Conoley, Ph.D. University of California, Santa Barbara](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/5562fc57d8b42a62598b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Comer’s School Development Program
• 3 teams– Parent, school planning and management, and student and staff
support• 3 operations
– Comprehensive school plan, staff development, and periodic assessment and modification
• 3 guiding principles to create a positive school climate for learning– Consensus - decisions made by consensus– Collaboration - viewpoints of team members are heard and
respected– No-fault - time is not wasted on unproductive blaming
![Page 48: Jane Close Conoley, Ph.D. University of California, Santa Barbara](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/5562fc57d8b42a62598b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Key Elements of Successful Programs
• Parents are children’s first teachers and have a lifelong influence on their values, attitudes, and aspirations
• Children’s educational success requires congruence between what is taught at school and values matched at home
![Page 49: Jane Close Conoley, Ph.D. University of California, Santa Barbara](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/5562fc57d8b42a62598b4bcc/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Key Elements of Successful Programs
• Most parents care deeply about their children’s education and can provide substantial support if given specific opportunities and knowledge
• Schools must take the lead in eliminating or at least reducing traditional barriers to parent involvement
