The implementation of primary prevention measures for the positive mental health of children has been identified by psychiatric nursing leaders as a priority for child psychiatric nurses. Promoting positive mental health behaviors in school‐aged children is facilitated by establishing a helping relationship within the context of small‐group activity situated in the child's natural school setting. The authors describe the theory and process of establishing a time‐limited, closed group in a school setting, for 10 children who were experiencing some alteration in health status.
