Recent trends in school mental health have contributed to an increased understanding of positive development and adjustment in the school environment. A new model, the school community well-being model, was devleoped that provides a broader approach to supporting well-being and guidelines for the promotion of well-being within the school community. In this model, the well-being of the whole school community is a primary target for outcome of the intervention programs, and provides the context for the promotion of all other significant correlates of well-being (e.g., students’ academic and psychosocial development and adjustment). Core concepts of school mental health related to this model include resilience, effective schools, schools as caring communities, social and emotional learning, and evidence-based interventions. These are prerequisites for the promotion of school well-being and are integrated into the model in an operational synthesis that provides practical guidelines for the development and implementation of system-level interventions in the school environment.
