The purpose of this program is to improve mental health outcomes for children and youth (birth to 21 years of age) with serious emotional disturbances (SED) and their families. This program will support the wide scale operations, expansion, and integration of the system of care (SOC) approach by creating sustainable infrastructure and services that are required as part of the Comprehensive Community Health Services for Children with Serious Emotional Disturbances (also known as the Children's Mental Health Initiative or CMHI).

Approximately 135,000 children are adopted in the United States each year. Children and youth who are adopted experience various levels of trauma and neglect, and adoptive families are three times more likely than birth families to seek out clinical services for behavioral health.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) will explore strategies for supporting the unique behavioral health needs of adopted children and their families. The webisode coincides with the release of a new report Domestic and International Adoption: Strategies to Improve Behavioral Health Outcomes for Youth and Their Families, which summarizes the findings of an interagency meeting hosted by SAMHSA to discuss science, policy, and practice related to the behavioral health challenges of children who have been adopted. The report will be released on February 10, and can be downloaded.

This technology will allow children in foster care to have a direct link to behavioral healthcare services such as therapy and ongoing education videos.

The grant funding will connect 850 foster families in the Midwest to needed resources. The program was launched last year, with 160 foster families receiving the technology in West Virginia and Kentucky. KVC provides services to families in Kansas, Nebraska, West Virginia and Kentucky.
