Treating children with severe, early onset emotional and behavioral disturbances remains a daunting task for mental health and education systems. This article describes key principles, features, and outcomes for the school-based Intensive Mental Health Program (IMHP), a program designed specifically to provide comprehensive evidence-based, ecologically sensitive, and individualized services for this difficult-to-treat population. Although the IMHP is a relatively new model, preliminary studies of outcomes and treatment processes give initial evidence that most children improve notably in their role performance, behavior, and emotional adjustment over the course of treatment. With increasing demands for effective, affordable school-based mental health services, the IMHP offers a developing but promising prototype for services geared to meet the unique needs of children with complex disturbances of emotions and behavior.
对于心理健康和教育系统而言，治疗患有严重的、早发性情绪和行为障碍的儿童仍然是一项艰巨的任务。本文介绍了基于学校的强化心理健康项目（IMHP）的关键原则、特点和成果，该项目旨在专门为这一难以治疗的人群提供全面的、基于证据的、具有生态敏感性的个性化服务。尽管IMHP是一个相对较新的模式，但对其结果和治疗过程的初步研究初步证明，大多数儿童在治疗过程中其角色表现、行为和情绪调节方面有显著改善。随着对有效且经济实惠的基于学校的心理健康服务需求的不断增加，IMHP为满足情绪和行为复杂障碍儿童的独特需求提供了一个正在发展但很有前景的服务原型。
