Abstract Details

2024, Doctor of Education , University of Dayton, Educational Administration.
Children are among our most vulnerable and post COVID-19 exhibited an increase in mental health issues in our schools. This led to increased needs for mental health professionals in the schools. Mental health agencies have had difficulty building capacity and keeping quality mental health professionals, implying there was a lack of understanding of and system for supporting these staff. Leadership needed to take a different approach to attending to mental health staffs’ needs. This action research study focused on ways organizational leadership can reduce burnout and increase empowerment and support of mental health staff. This qualitative study was grounded in Watson’s Caring Theory and focused on using a transformational leadership approach.
