Summary

Attendance at school can contribute substantially to young people’s optimal development and long-term outcomes. School absenteeism and mental health problems, which are often intertwined, present a major obstacle to optimal development. This chapter introduces research on the relationship between school absenteeism and young people’s mental health problems, including internalising and externalising problems. Attention is also given to the relationship between school attendance and mental health. The authors then present three lenses through which the reader may assimilate the wealth of data and ideas in this book: the multiple needs of young people displaying absenteeism and mental health problems; a multiple disciplinary approach to responding to these needs; and a multi-tiered system of supports for conceptualising, providing, and researching interventions to prevent and address school absenteeism and mental health problems.
