This book is the comprehensive reference for mental health professionals on how to develop community-based systems of care.The newest book in the ""Systems of Care for Children's Mental Health"" series is a complete resource for those interested establishing and nurturing the development of systems of care for children with serious emotional disturbance and their families. The text includes best practice examples and evaluation results, and discusses key contextual issues and emerging trends effecting the development of systems of care. It serves as a follow-up to Stroul's ""Children's Mental Health: Creating Systems of Care in a Changing Society"" (Brookes, 1996). Since that book's publication more than a decade ago, there has been a greater acceptance of the study of children's mental health and much has been learned about how it affects child development. This new book brings readers up-to-date with the key issues.
