There is a lack of mental health services in schools across the United States. According to recent data, 52% of public schools struggled to effectively provide mental health services to students. We explored the surge in demand for mental health services in schools for students, an ongoing need that continues beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. It is clear that schools struggle with their effort to provide mental health services for students, primarily stemming from insufficient funding, shortage of licensed mental health professionals, and a lack of mental health training among school staff. School administrators must remain dedicated to identifying strategies to increase access to mental health services in schools for students.
美国各地的学校都缺乏心理健康服务。根据最近的数据，52%的公立学校难以有效地为学生提供心理健康服务。我们探讨了学校对学生心理健康服务需求的激增，这是一种持续存在的需求，在新冠疫情之后仍在继续。显然，学校在为学生提供心理健康服务方面面临困难，主要原因是资金不足、有执照的心理健康专业人员短缺以及学校工作人员缺乏心理健康培训。学校管理人员必须致力于确定增加学校为学生提供心理健康服务机会的策略。
