Alliance Anxious About Children's Mental Health
Article Abstract:
The Children's Mental Health Alliance Project hopes to improve the quality of mental health services for children. Managed care places greater emphasis on primary care than specialized care. For this reason, two-thirds of children with mental disorders are not receiving appropriate care. Managed care companies also tend to subcontract mental health services to a separate company. This fragments the child's care even further.
