There is national consensus on the youth mental health crisis. In October the American Academy of Pediatrics, AACP and CHA declared a national youth mental crisis followed by the US Surgeon General issuing an advisory to respond to this public health emergency.
Partnering with schools is key to any scalable solution to address the youth mental health crisis. Authors of the recently released guide, School Mental Health 101: A Primer for Medi-Cal Managed Care Plans and school mental health experts share insights and answer questions about providing school-based youth mental health services, and how to partner with Managed Care Plans (MCPs) to make it happen.
