Health service provision now lies almost completely within the powers of the Scottish Parliament and accounts for 40% of the Executive's budget. There is a Minister and a Deputy Minister for Health. There are six key groups – the Scottish people, the Scottish Parliament, the Scottish Executive, the health service, the local authorities and the press, all with high expectations that things should get better.

Schools are a primary setting for mental health service provision to youth and are also main sources of referral to community mental health service providers. This chapter examines the school context and its key role in the child and adolescent mental health services system. The chapter first provides information about the association of emotional and behavioral disorders with school experiences, including academic performance. Next, the chapter presents a framework for mental health service provision and assessment in schools, including describing methods for identifying students who might need mental health services and tracking their progress. Further, several evidence-based interventions are highlighted as examples of effective practices in schools. The chapter concludes with recommendations for clinical practice in school settings.
