How do grants support services for young people with mental health disorders?
Strengthening mental health support systems for youth
挑战
One in every 4 to 5 youth in the general population have a mental disorder, such as a mood disorder, 焦虑, 或者行为障碍. Many of these young people have experienced trauma, 无家可归, 自杀未遂, 或被逮捕.
The Comprehensive Community Mental Health 服务 for Children and their Families Program, also referred to as the Children’s Mental Health Initiative (CMHI), supports programs for young people with serious emotional disturbances and their families. 自2013年以来, CMHI has awarded 93 new system of care (SOC) grants to support expansion and sustainability of services for these young people and their families.
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health 服务 Administration (SAMHSA), 负责监管CMHI, asked 趣赢平台 to help evaluate the impact of the grants.
解决方案
Working with SAMHSA’s Center for Mental Health 服务 (CMHS), we are conducting a multisite national evaluation of the effectiveness and impact of the SOC grants in expanding, 协调, 改善护理.
We developed high-quality quantitative and qualitative instruments to examine the grantees’ program implementation efforts. We will share the findings from our evaluation with multiple audiences, including Congress.
结果
Since its inception, CMHI programs have served more than 100,000 young people and their families.
Our evaluation of the impact of the new grants will
- Provide a framework for developing program policies and guiding future programs so they best meet the needs of young people
- Provide guidance and training activities for states and localities seeking to create a sustainable infrastructure of services for young people
- Help ensure that young people and their families receive adequate services and support to improve their mental health and their lives
