    Introduktion: Barns psykiska hĂ€lsa och lĂ€rande har reciprokt samband. Skolan tillhör samhĂ€llets frĂ€msta hĂ€lsofrĂ€mjande arena. Studier av hĂ€lsofrĂ€mjande insatser i skolan visar skiftande utfall och att hela skolmiljön behöver inkluderas. I Sverige stĂ„r elevhĂ€lsans hĂ€lsofrĂ€mjande arbete i centrum för förbĂ€ttringsĂ„tgĂ€rder. Syfte: Utforska hur medlemmarna i elevhĂ€lsoteam uppfattar det hĂ€lsofrĂ€mjande arbetet för psykisk hĂ€lsa i skolan. Metod: Fokusgruppintervjuer med elevhĂ€lsoteam (förskoleklass-Ă„k 6) i sex kommuner i sydöstra Sverige. 29 deltagare med professionerna: kurator, specialpedagog, speciallĂ€rare, psykolog, skolsköterska och rektor. Dataanalys med kvalitativ konventionell innehĂ„llsanalys. Resultat: I skolans hĂ€lsofrĂ€mjande arbete för barns psykiska hĂ€lsa spelar alla vuxna en viktig roll. Arbetet uppfattas ske i tre sammanlĂ€nkade processer dĂ€r Reflektioner om HĂ€lsa och LĂ€rande Ă€r centralt. VĂ€rdegrundsarbetet bidrar till samsyn, öppenhet och trygg lĂ€rmiljö. Det ElevnĂ€ra arbetet innebĂ€r att anpassa, inspirera, skapa relationer och trygga rutiner. ElevhĂ€lsoteamens arbete har central roll i kartlĂ€ggning av elevers hĂ€lsa och lĂ€rande, handledning av personal, och samverkan med hĂ€lso- och sjukvĂ„rden och social omsorg dĂ€r brister finns i kommunikation. Behov finns av mer gemensam reflektion kring barn med psykisk ohĂ€lsa. Personal i skolan reflekterar utifrĂ„n KĂ€nnedom om och samarbete med nĂ€rsamhĂ€llet vilket tillför verklighetsnĂ€ra kunskap om elevers livsvillkor och engagemang för barn frĂ„n socioekonomiskt svagare hem. Hinder finns i samverkan med vĂ„rdnadshavare och ökad interaktion med nĂ€rsamhĂ€llet efterstrĂ€vas. Konklusion: I Skolan tillĂ€mpas salutogen teori och barnrĂ€ttsperspektivet. Reflektioner kring elevers hĂ€lsa och lĂ€rande leder till förbĂ€ttring och spridning av hĂ€lsofrĂ€mjande strategier. Studien ledde fram till en modell som illustrerar förhĂ„llandet mellan olika roller och processer i skolans hĂ€lsofrĂ€mjande arbete och i relation till nĂ€rsamhĂ€llet och andra aktörer. Reflektioner behöver tydliggöras och ges ökat utrymme. VĂ€rdegrundsarbetet behöver inkludera all personal och ske kontinuerligt. ElevhĂ€lsoteamens roll i koordination av insatser för elever med psykisk ohĂ€lsa Ă€r central. Teamen kan stĂ€rka sitt deltagande i beslutsfattande- och policyskapande arbete, samverkan med vĂ„rdnadshavare och nĂ€rsamhĂ€llet för att förbĂ€ttra och utvidga skolan som hĂ€lsofrĂ€mjande arena. Introduction: Children’s mental health and learning have a reciprocal relationship, and schools are one of society’s main health promotion settings. Studies of health promotion in schools show varying results. In Sweden, pupil health promotion work is at the core of improvement efforts. Purpose: To explore how the members of pupil health teams perceive mental health promotion practice in their schools. Method: Focus group interviews with pupil health teams (school years 1-6) in six municipalities in southeastern Sweden. There were 29 participants, including professions such as counsellor, special teacher, special educator, psychologist, school nurse and principal. Data analysis with qualitative conventional content analysis. Results: In schools’ mental health promotion among pupils, all adults play an important role. Promotion was seen to take place in three interconnected processes where reflection on health and learning is central: Work on values contributes to consensus, openness and a safe learning environment. Work near pupils involves customizing, inspiring and creating confident relationships and safe routines for pupils. Pupil health teams’ work has a central role in the mapping of pupils’ health and learning, staff guidance and collaboration with other stakeholders such as health care and social care services where there is a lack of communication and a need for common reflection. Knowledge of and cooperation with the local community adds real life knowledge of pupils’ life conditions and a commitment to children from socioeconomically weaker homes. Obstacles exist in collaboration with parents, and increased interaction with the local community is sought. Conclusion: In schools, the salutogenic theory and a child rights perspective are applied. Reflections about pupils’ health and learning lead to the improvement and spread of health promoting strategies. The study contributes a model which may help to clarify collaboration and the relationship between various roles and processes in health promotion work in schools, as well as interaction with the local community and other stakeholders. Reflections need to be clarified and given increased space. The role of the pupil health teams in coordinating interventions for pupils with mental illness is central. The teams’ participation in decision making and policymaking work and collaboration with parents and the community needs to be strengthened to enhance and broaden schools as a health promoting setting.
