Abstract

The objective of this research was to develop a model for the management of a student support system focused on mental health in secondary schools. The objectives of this study at the secondary education level were: 1) to study the current and desired conditions of the mental health care management system for students in secondary schools; 2) Develop a model for managing the mental health care system for students in secondary schools; and 3) Evaluate the developed model of mental health care management for students in secondary schools. The sample group consisted of 346 participants, including school administrators, guidance counselors, homeroom teachers, and student support system teachers under the jurisdiction of the Nakhon Ratchasima Secondary Educational Service Area Office. The data were collected using questionnaires. The draft model was validated through focus group discussions with 9 experts, and the model was evaluated by 50 school administrators within the same jurisdiction. The statistics used for data analysis included frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, needs assessment, and content analysis.

The study found that the management model of the student support system for mental health in secondary schools comprises two main components: Management of the Student Support System, which includes: (1) Planning (2) Organizing (3) Staffing (4) Directing (5) Coordinating and (6) Reporting Implementation of the Student Support System, which includes: (1) Promotion, development, and resilience building (2) Prevention, intervention, and rehabilitation (3) Referral (4) Evaluation and (5) Research and planning. The overall evaluation of the model indicated high accuracy, appropriateness, feasibility, and practicability.
