Nonprofit Overview
Mission: The Children’s Mental Health Network endeavors to fill this gap by providing factual, non-partisan, up-to-date information singularly focused on children’s mental health care and the systems and structures in which that care is provided. The Children’s Mental Health Network informs people about changes in legislation and policy, synthesizing sources and perspectives to offer future scenarios for implementation and practice. The Children’s Mental Health Network focuses attention on what is emerging and how individuals, programs, and systems can best prepare in ways that ensure maximal benefit for children, youth and families. The Children’s Mental Health Network provides a platform, through its website and blogs, for otherwise obscure stories of local success and innovation. The Network connects disparate groups of stakeholders and gives them access to one another’s perspectives, needs and concerns, with the strong abiding belief that there are examples of success across the Nation and the globe worth sharing and replicating. The Network is not only a critical source of information for all people concerned with children’s mental health, it is indeed, an essential element in eliciting broader, more diverse, democratic participation in the creation of better policies and systems for children with mental health needs.
