Background and Rationale
Commissioned by the Australian Guidance and Counselling Association (AGCA), the School Case Management Project is located within the MindMatters Plus (MM+) initiative, which “aims to improve the capacity of secondary schools to cater for students who have support needs in the area of mental health” (MindMatters Plus Report, 2005, p.i).
Considerable work is currently being conducted on capacity-building of mental health programs in secondary schools. A need to supplement this work with specific processes allied to mental health programs in secondary schools was identified. Effective school case management was one key area of MM+ which subsequently was targeted for further identification and development.
