Abstract:
As is evident from the topic of this issue, schools can play an important role in addressing the unmet mental health needs of youth. Social anxiety disorder is particularly suited to being treated in the school setting. This article describes an empirically supported school-based intervention for social anxiety disorder, skills for academic and social success, and provides specific strategies to school counselors, teachers and community practitioners for implementing these methods. This article focuses on practical approaches for working with socially anxious adolescents in the school setting and how to increase awareness of social anxiety with parents and school personnel.
