Practitioners will find this book easy to follow, comprehensive, and most important, helpful for improving the lives of children and adolescents navigating the K-12 years. And isn't that, after all, what education should be all about?

This book will change the culture of any school and improve the quality of life for all students. I plan to purchase it for each counselor, every special educator, the clinicians, our principals, and the campus media centers. It's just that good!

A comprehensive reference for addressing students' mental health needs

The ASCA National Model urges school counselors to know every student and broaden their knowledge of mental health disorders. With more students in need of mental health services than ever before, the timing is ideal for a guide that equips staff to meet these challenges. The School Counselor's Mental Health Sourcebook provides tools for keeping students on track, including:

• Methods for addressing many disorders, including anxiety and autism
• Intervention strategies that work
• Effective ways to collaborate with families from various cultures

Rick Auger describes the disorders and strategies with a balance of simplicity and clinical depth. This time-saving resource gives busy school counselors strategies for helping students succeed in school and in life.
