Description: This resource keeps pace with the increasingly rapid changes in service coordination for child and adolescent mental health, examining the current state of the field and detailing the shift to more collaborative, family-centered service delivery. Advocating system-level change, this volume describes how to develop links among providers and among agencies. Also included are case studies drawn from successful programs that illustrate how to translate innovative ideas into practice.

Pulling together the work of professionals around the country, this comprehensive resource gives professionals a cohesive framework for building on the developments of the last decade. Directors of family centers, community clinics, child agencies, and outreach programs, as well as social workers, psychologists, nurses, family members, advocates, and policy makers will use this detailed volume for information, guidance, and support.
