Collaborative consultation training: the missing link to the enhancement of collaborative relationships among education and mental health professionals®
The ability of education and mental health professionals to collaborate is essential
when providing services to children and adolescents. It is imperative, therefore,
that professionals from different theoretical orientations understand collaborative
consultation as the basis for developing effective working relationships. The
purpose of this article is to provide information on collaborative consultation in
education and mental health professions as it exists in the United States and its
impact upon the provision of these services. It also serves as an information
resource on collaborative consultation for the international community. University
training designed to ensure an understanding of the process and purpose of
collaborative consultation will be addressed. The article concludes with suggested
coursework and student teaching/internship activities designed to develop this competency
