Moving toward Integrated Services: A Literature Review for Prevention Specialists.

This document was written for prevention specialists who plan or implement integrated services in their communities or school districts. Chapter 1 explains why integrated, school-linked services are needed. Chapter 2 outlines the elements of successful integrated services and barriers to implementation. The third chapter describes three approaches, ranging from the categorical model (the simplest), the student-focused model (midrange in the continuum), and the integrated-services model. The final chapter describes six integrated-service programs in the western United States and lists contact organizations. Four figures and one table are included. Appendices contain a matrix depicting elements of success and a recommendation form for successful integrated-services programs. (LMI)
