Abstract	The feasibility of addressing the mental health needs of young people at school is influenced by how staff perceive their role, and the role of schools, in mental health care. Using qualitative methodology, this study investigated the roles of Australian school teachers and counselors. The aims were two-fold: (i) to explore how teachers and counselors perceive the role of the school in student mental health; and (ii) to explore their views about what is being practically done in schools to provide this support. Ninety-one secondary school teachers and 83 counselors (M[subscript age] = 39.45) across New South Wales responded to open-ended questions between November 2017 and July 2018. Key themes included support, being on the frontline, collaboration, and education, although there were some discrepancies between staff. Further, counselors endorsed evidence-based programs in schools that directly targeted student mental health. Results indicated that clear professional roles and a coordinated effort are needed to appropriately address student mental health. (As Provided).
