For several years a psychiatric consultation service, now involving 1 1/2 days weekly, has been given to Area 5 schools of the Protestant School Board of Greater Montreal, Area 5 having 10,000 children. Treatment is not part of the service, but cases requiring it are generally referred to appropriate physicians or clinics. Prior to actual interviews with the children, data are collected from all suitable sources and intelligence testing is done. The majority of referrals for psychiatric assessment seem warranted. This is illustrated in a Table showing the findings in 18 children from one classroom. Reports from the principals indicate their approval of the service and their wish to see it expanded.
