Keep our children and youth, who suffer from a mental disorder, in their homes by providing them home-based and community-based services instead of utilizing psychiatric hospitalization and residential settings that further stigmatize them.
Why is this important?
Inpatient psychiatric hospitalization and residential treatment are unnecessary for many children and adolescents with mental disorders. Help keep our children and youth in their homes by providing them with home-based and community-based interventions, which has been proven to be a more appropriate and less restrictive alternative.
