      abstract = {"This handbook offers a comprehensive overview of school  mental health (SMH) initiatives in rural areas in the  United States. It offers clinical and administrative  guidelines for innovative and effective programs addressing  critical problems among rural youth and in areas where  funding and resources are scarce. Chapters cover program  development, implementation, sustainability, and  evaluation; consider issues of community and policy  support; address barriers to access and delivery; and  debunk misconceptions about the region and its cultures.  Chapters also discuss rural SMH applications relating to  special populations, including students with autism,  depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, conduct disorders,  and ADHD. In addition, the book examines the potential of  school-based programs as a counter to the stigma and  distrust of mental health services common to the  region.<Topics featured in the Handbook include:The value  of rural SMH from an educator's standpoint. Preventing  suicide among students in rural schools. Substance abuse in  rural school settings. Bullying and cyberbully among rural  youth. Intergenerational patterns of mental illness in  rural settings and their relevance for SMH. The importance  of involving communities in culturally competent rural  interventions. The Handbook of Rural School Mental Health  is a must-have resource for researchers,  scientist-practitioners, and graduate students in child and  school psychology, educational psychology, social  work/counseling, educational policymakers,  pediatrics/school nursing, teaching, and teacher  education."--},
