Although 14% to 26% of children under the age of 18 suffer from
some type of behavioral, emotional, or developmental problem, only
about one quarter of these children actually receive any care. How
can we reach more of these children (and their families) and give
them more effective mental health care? Aimed at finding an answer
to this question, Children's Mental Health Services explores the
major developments in the policy, services, and evaluations arenas
that have implications for the development and refinement of
service systems for children and adolescents with mental health
needs. The book begins with an overview of state-level policies as
well as the research development in children's mental health
services. Next, the authors thoughtfully examine the components of
the multiagency system--from the juvenile justice system to primary
care and school-based mental health services--to see what
contributions each can make in serving children with mental health
needs and their families. This valuable resource also evaluates
three recent examples of children's mental health service systems.
Children's Mental Health Services is an important volume for
students in evaluation, family studies, development psychology,
public policy and social work. Researchers, evaluators, and
practitioners in the teen or child mental health area will also
find this book a welcome synthesis of the issues and research in
this field. "I would like to congratulate the editors on the
publication of this volume and on the initiation of the Sage
Children's Mental Health Services series. I applaud their work in
bringing together so many leaders in children's mental health to
produce a very thoughtful and strategic analyses of progress that
has been made and issues that remain to be addressed. I anticipate
that this volume and entire series will make an important
contribution to an understanding of where we have come from in
developing effective service systems, where we still need to go to
better support children and families, who our partners in this
effort should be, and perhaps, most important strategically, how we
should strive to move ahead." --from the Foreword by Robert M.
Friedman, University of South Florida
