Children's Mental Health: An Overview and Key Considerations for Health System Stakeholders
One of every five children and adolescents has a mental disorder, and one in ten has a serious emotional disturbance that affects daily functioning. But four out of five children who need mental health services do not receive them. This new issue paper from the National Institute for Health Care Management Research and Educational Foundation (NIHCM Foundation) provides an overview and highlights of key considerations for health system efforts to promote and improve the mental health of children and youth. It was written as background for the NIHCM Foundation forum, Children’s Mental Health: New Developments in Policy and Programs, held on May 13, 2004, in Washington, DC.
