Report Available

APA members can now access the report “Teaching Mental Health and Mental Illness Prevention in the Schools” by APA's Corresponding Committee on Mental Health and Schools on APA's Web site.

The committee prepared the report in response to an issue the Assembly brought to its attention. Many psychiatrists are concerned about the lack of information about mental health and illness issues taught in the general health curricula of public schools. The committee's report includes Web sites and other information that can be used by those who want to offer information on mental health and illness for use in health classes.

The report is posted on APA's Web site at<www.psych.org/members/gov/assembly/maynovmtg/archives/May04/8.D.pdf>.
