dc.description.abstract | Rural schools often can not provide the same access to mental health service as schools in larger population areas can.. Understanding the implications of these sometimes limited services is important in overcoming barriers to adequate services for those in rural areas. This study surveyed a national sample of (n = 80) teachers, administrators, and other school professionals serving rural schools about their perceptions of mental health needs, available services, and barriers to services. The results indicate that respondents perceive needs as generally met, although available services across a variety of areas are not readily accessible. Barriers to meeting those needs include staff turnover rate and lack of funding. Suggestions for addressing these issues are considered. | |
