Linking Schools with Youth and Family Centers.
Bush, M. Joan; Wilson, Connie S.
Educational Leadership, v55 n2 p38-41 Oct 1997
In summer 1995, Dallas Public Schools formed a partnership with a primary care system and a mental health agency. The result was the opening of nine youth and family centers located on or near school campuses. Services are designed to promote academic success, resiliency, and self-sufficiency. By offering families and students needed support, the district has significantly reduced its classroom problems. (MLH)
