Paper presentation entitled "It Works in Practice, Does it Work in Theory? Development and Implementation of School-Based Mental Health Services with Muslim Clientele."

Abstract

The presenters will describe the development and implementation of a school-based mental health service in three K-9 schools populated by Muslim students. We will highlight the fast-paced, politically sensitive environment in which we operate, the funding environment, and the complexity of dealing with multiple systems. We will then connect features of the project with principles of community development, community psychology, and participatory action research.
