The implementation of a team training intervention for school mental health: Lessons learned.

ABSTRACT: Children obtain more mental health services through schools than through any other system. In urban, low-resource schools, mental health care often is provided by teams of contracted community mental health workers. Implementation of intended services may struggle in the context of challenges related to team functioning. Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety (TeamSTEPPS) is an efficacious approach for improving team functioning in health care. In collaboration with stakeholders, we adapted TeamSTEPPS for school mental health teams and pilot-tested it in 3 schools participating in an ongoing implementation of cognitive-behavioral therapy. In total, 3 teams randomized to receive TeamSTEPPS were compared with 3 teams who did not participate in TeamSTEPPS. Feasibi
