Abstract
Over a decade ago, teacher perspectives of supporting student mental health in schools were assessed, including perceptions of mental health needs; their knowledge, skills, and training needs; their roles for supporting children's mental health; and barriers to supporting mental health needs in their school settings. The purpose of this study was to again assess teacher perceptions on these same topics to determine the current landscape for supporting student mental health. Findings from a sample of 420 teachers indicate that the majority of teachers agree that schools should be involved in supporting the mental health of students. Most teachers also felt that they should be involved in implementing classroom interventions and social-emotional learning curriculum. Teachers continue to report that they do not have the knowledge to meet the mental health needs of students, in particular students from diverse backgrounds. The top areas for professional development were identifying mental health issues, classroom behavior management, and culturally responsive practices. The most identified mental health issue in schools was disruptive behavior problems. Finally, the vast majority of teachers now recognize the term evidence-based interventions/practices as compared to the prior study, but teachers note the same barriers to implementing mental health supports as over a decade ago. Implications for practice are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved).

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
