Abstract / Description

Caring Across Communities: Addressing Mental Health Needs of Diverse Children and Youth brought school-connected mental health services to immigrants and refugees in 15 communities in eight states. From 2007 to 2010, partnerships developed model mental health programs that engaged schools, families, students, mental health agencies, and other local organizations in building culturally appropriate, readily available services. Most sites also offered supportive services such as case management. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Board of Trustees authorized the program for up to $7 million. (author abstract)
