Such disorders in children often persist into adult life, and may negatively affect academic achievement, relationships, and work. This Series in The Lancet Psychiatry examines the unique role that schools can play in delivering treatment for mental health problems to children, as well as universal mental health promotion. One paper focuses on interventions in high-income countries, and the other on those in low-income countries, with a podcast in which the author of both reviews is interviewed about current mental health provision and the practicalities of implementing more services in schools across the world.
