Abstract
Technological applications are increasingly being used in mental health promotion and intervention with children, adolescents and adults. This article describes various forms of technology and their application to school mental health promotion, either as the primary method of counseling or as a supplement to traditional mental health counseling. Technology applications are reviewed for their role in promotion/intervention with autism spectrum disorders, depression, anxiety and other behavioral or emotional disabilities. The article culminates in a discussion of considerations and issues for practitioners involving the use of technology in child and adolescent and school mental health promotion.
