The System of Care Handbook
Transforming Mental Health Services for Children, Youth, and Families
Edited by Beth A. Stroul, M.Ed. & Gary M. Blau, Ph.D.
 Address the urgent need for individualized, coordinated mental health care with this book—the only one-stop reference for establishing, evaluating, and improving services and systems of care for children and adolescents with mental health challenges and their families. The new cornerstone of the highly respected Systems of Care for Children's Mental Health series, this comprehensive volume helps administrators, program developers, and clinicians from mental health and partner child-serving systems skillfully navigate every key issue they may encounter on the road to effective service delivery. Weaving all the latest research and best practices into a single accessible handbook, more than 60 expert contributors give readers the in-depth, practical knowledge they need to
- develop comprehensive, community-based, coordinated systems of care for youth with mental health challenges and their families
- avoid duplication and fragmentation of services across mental health and other child-serving systems
- develop individualized care plans for children with complex needs and implement the "wraparound " approach to service delivery
- incorporate evidence-based practices into systems of care
- use smart financing strategies that make the most of multiple funding streams
- ensure the full participation of families and youth in service planning and delivery
- improve services and care coordination across a variety of systems—schools, child welfare, juvenile justice
- work effectively with youth and families from diverse backgrounds and communities
- conduct accurate program evaluation and continuous quality improvement
- use the best professional development strategies to ensure a skilled and dedicated workforce
Throughout the book, extended case studies of children, youth, families, and successful programs take readers beyond the abstract and reveal in vivid detail how high-quality services can transform the lives of children and youth—from early childhood to their transition to adulthood—as well as their families and caregivers. A must-own compendium of knowledge for anyone involved in shaping the future of mental health services, this book is the new blueprint for systems of care that truly respond to the needs of children, youth and families.
