Why is it important?
Principals can utilize school mental health resources and personnel as well as community resources to improve the quality and comprehensiveness of services for students grieving after a community violence incident.
Perspectives
While the role of the principal in the community has been emphasized by some researchers, scholarship often neglects the need for principals to have functional knowledge about community violence and how school- and community-based mental health services can support students. The article at hand helps to address this gap in the literature.
