| The International School Health Network and our partners are calling for editors, writers, contributors, reviewers and sponsors to develop a series of summaries that define and describe several topics relating to mental health and schools. The development of this series of topics is being guided by Dr Stan Kutcher, Chair, Sun Life Financial Chair in Adolescent Mental Health, IWK Health Centre, Dalhousie University, Canada which is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Education, Science and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as a global collaborating centre of excellence. This call includes a listing of several potential topics related to promoting mental health through schools. As with other topics in this program and in this web site, it is expected that each topic will eventually, over the course of several months, have a Glossary term (1-2 paragraphs), an Encyclopedia Entry (1-2 pages), a Handbook Section (10-15 pages with sub pages for case studies and a Bibliography or Toolbox that lists web-linked research articles, reports and resources such as educational programs, training tools and policy documents. The summaries on topics could eventually form part of an e-book on School Mental Health that will be prepared from materials in this knowledge exchange program. The following topics are anticipated as being among the ones that are relevant to mental health and schools (Note: This list of topics is also open for amendment). There are some topics on this list with active links to "rough draft", "first draft" or "first editions" because they had been started or adapted with permission from another project or source. The topics are organized within the outlines we use within this encyclopedia. Where appropriate, we have added links to other summaries in this Encyclopedia that relate to these SMH topics. Just follow the items listed under "Also see". Individuals and organizations interested in becoming a writer, contributor or sponsor for any one or more of these topics should contact dmccall@internationalschoolhealth.org The deadline for responding to this call is open, because the list of topics is lengthy and the topics on the list are open for continued discussion. |
