Dr. Seifert is an expert on the issues of Attachment and Interpersonal Violence. She has written many articles and she lectures at many international conferences on these topics. Rob Schmidt is the school based mental health coordinator for the Talbot County Public Schols. He and Dr. Seifert carried out the 6 year outcome study on Talbot County's School based Mental Health Program. Both are available for consultation and training.
Dr. Seifert and Robert Schmidt continue to research a highly effective school based mental health program in Talbot, County, MD. The project has demonstrated that chidren and teens receiving school based mental health services have significantly better grades, attendance, mental health, behavior, attitudes and committmernt to school and teachers than those who were referred for services, but did not receive them due to lack of consent or referral to other commuity services. The on-going research has helped identify the elements of an effective school based mental health program. We are available to assist schools in setting up such a program or applying for grants.
