Résumé

School-based mental health initiatives designed to address mental health difficulties in young people face a number of challenges that can limit their effectiveness and sustainability. These include challenges to participation, challenges to knowledge uptake and challenges to timely and ongoing evaluation. In this paper, we review how each of these challenges affects the effectiveness of school-based mental health programs and how they can be addressed, in part, through interactive, internet-based resources and tools, while maximizing the sustainability of those programs. Never before has a single delivery system such as the internet had the capacity to reach such a large number of young people simultaneously.
