Meaningful mental health outcomes for youth

Chris Engel 10/12/121:46 PM

"Research indicates that youth with mental health problems cost the public three times more than infectious diseases. One study conducted a cost benefit analysis for substance abuse and mental health treatment and estimated that there was an annual 170% return on the cost of investment, translating into a gain of $32.76 for every dollar spent. In an effort to improve the outcome for disadvantaged youth, there is an increasing need to expand mental health services. Strength based, evidence based approaches with individualized treatment plans serve as an equitable and affordable model."
