title: Children with mental disorders: making sense of their needs and the systems that help them.
abstract: This paper examines the nature, severity, and prevalence of mental, behavioral, and emotional disorders among children, as well as the types of services that could help them. It looks at how they are served by the education, health care, and child welfare systems, and it identifies the gaps in these systems of care. It also examines the extent to which Medicaid, SCHIP, and private health insurance finance mental health care services for children.
