Start with the adults you know—a parent, a teacher, your school counselor, a minister, or your doctor or nurse may be able to provide support or suggestions for places where you will find the help you need. There are also a number of organizations that specialize in dealing with drug-related issues, offering support groups, counseling, or helpful statistics and information.

In 1991, the National Association of School Resource Officers (NASRO) was established as a nonprofit organization to bring forth a more collective and coordinated establishment of the SRO roles and responsibilities throughout the nation. One of the first priorities of the newly formed NASRO was the establishment of the triad model, which defined the three primary roles of a SRO. These three roles are law enforcement officer, teacher, and counselor (Burke, 2001).

Because the need is so great, others at a school often are called upon to play a role in addressing mh and psychosocial problems of youth and their families. These include other health professionals (such as school nurses and physicians), instructional professionals (health educators, other classroom teachers, special education staff, resource staff), administrative staff (principals, assistant principals), students (including trained peer counselors), family members, and almost everyone else involved with a school (aides, clerical and cafeteria staff, custodians, bus drivers, paraprofessionals, recreation personnel, volunteers, and professionals-in-training). In addition, some schools are using specialists employed by other public and private agencies, such as health departments, hospitals, and community-based organizations, to provide mh services to students, their families, and school staff.
