From September 2005, the Teacher Training Agency (TTA) became the Training and Development Agency for Schools (TDA), with additional responsibilities for the entire school workforce. Until then, no single organisation had responsibilities for the training and development of teachers and support staff. 

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.
