Abstract
Authors in this volume have drawn on a range of different evidence sources in their chapters, with the predominant emphasis being on narratives based on participant perspectives. This qualitative and interpretive emphasis is important for various reasons. First and foremost, it has enabled the authors to illuminate mental health promotion in school through the personal and contextually embedded views and experiences of key stakeholders – in this case, students, teachers, school leaders, parents, policy makers, and mental health workers amongst others.
