According to the
Surgeon General’s Report of 1999, nearly 14 million children – one in
five—have a diagnosable mental disorder.
Unfortunately, most
of these children receive no care.
The Spokane community is attempting to
address this issue by implementing the Child and Adolescent Initiative. Sponsored by Spokane County Community Services and the RSN, this
initiative is aimed at creating a proposal for a system of care for
children and adolescents that is outcomes driven. Focusing initially on
the Medicaid system, the goal of this initiative is to examine and
identify various ways to provide mental health services to all children
and adolescents in our community.
