Beyond Academics - Supporting the Mental, Emotional, and Behavioral Health of Students in Catholic Schools

Schools must ensure that children are granted the greatest opportunity for
learning possible. This means not only developing students' academic
capabilities, but providing support for their emotional, behavioral, and mental
health needs as well. Readers will come away with:
* An increased awareness of mental, emotional, and behavioral issues and their
prevalence,
* A clear understanding that meeting such needs is a matter of faith, residing at
the heart of what Catholic schools do: bring human life to fullness,
* A knowledge base concerning what Catholic schools currently do to meet
student MEB needs and a deep immersion in the perceptions of current Catholic school leaders about how to do
so better, and
* An appreciation that only through strategic, data informed action can schools best support the children
entrusted to their care.
This book foregrounds the belief that student achievement, holistic student wellness, and overall school
improvement will only be attained if mental, emotional, and behavioral health in Catholic schools is advanced
and supported.
