N2  - With increasing pressure on schools in the United States to address violence and school safety, school mental health (SMH) programs and services are well positioned to assist school administrators, teachers, and other school staff to prevent and/or reduce inappropriate and violent student behavior in schools. It is a struggle for persistently dangerous schools to provide educational environments that are safe and supportive for all students, and their academic achievement is threatened. The process of identifying and reforming these schools is explored briefly, followed by the ways in which school mental health strategies and programs can reduce suspensions and expulsions. Finally, opportunities are highlighted in which school mental health professionals can work with school administrators to produce effective change to promote safe schools and communities.<p />
