Abstract

Abstract

In rescent years, schools are confronting continued mental health needs of children and adolescents. The person-centered school mental health service model is impossible to meet current and future increasingly public health problems. Under the framework of the "whole School, whole Community, whole Child" (WSCC) theory and the concept of health promoting schools proposed by the World Health Organization, the editorial proposes to integrate universal mental health services into essential public health services in school, as well as to build a digital school mental health service platform to enable new opportunities for universal mental health services in schools.
