title: Consultation to administrators.
abstract: Mental health specialists can contribute to improvements in children's school experience when they work with administrators to incorporate up-to-date mental health knowledge into educational practice. Effective consultation is not simply a knowledge dissemination exercise. The impact of the consultant's input is determined by how responsive the consultation process is to the needs and assets of faculty, students, and the broader community.
