Some have argued that schoolwide interventions to address mental and social problems, which are the major reasons for school failure, be included as an essential aspect of school reform and school restructuring (Adelman Taylor, 2000). Comer s School Development Program, which includes a mental health team that coordinates schoolwide activities to address the mental health needs of all students, is an example (Comer, 1988), as is the three-level comprehensive approach to school safety that links school safety, school reform, and addressing the mental health needs of all students (Dwyer Osher, 2000). Services range in level of intensity in accordance with need and include preventive services.
