The School Counselor's Mental Health Sourcebook provides tools for keeping students on track, including:

  • Methods for addressing many disorders, including anxiety and autism
  • Intervention strategies that work
  • Effective ways to collaborate with families from various cultures

Rick Auger describes the disorders and strategies with a balance of simplicity and clinical depth. This time-saving resource gives busy school counselors strategies for helping students succeed in school and in life.


Key features

  • Describes a range of common mental health issues that affect children and young adults in clear and jargon-free language
  • Includes general guidelines and more specific strategies for intervention
  • Addresses the critical issues of culture and collaboration
  • Will be the first book on the topic designed specifically for school counselors
  • Mental health issues are becoming more prevalent: studies show that 20% of school-aged children exhibit some type of mental health disorder, and up to 70% of youth in the juvenile justice system do. This is a problem that is not going away. Some of these disorders (bipolar and PTSD, for example) are increasing exponentially.

Quote by Amy Milsom, Associate Professor, Counseling, Clemson University, SC: "Rick Auger reviews some of the more common mental health disorders that educators might encounter and provides school counselors with recommendations for how they might approach intervention. His propensity toward cognitive and behavioral approaches matches well with school counselors’ ability to provide school-based intervention. The examples are specific enough to be helpful but also broad enough to allow for flexibility when accommodating individual student difference. School counselors will find this a useful resource as they develop counseling intervention plans as well as when they serve as a consultant to parents and teachers."
