Integration and the Child
Abstract
The integration of behavioral and physical health has become a national priority as increasing evidence points to the connection between adverse experiences, behavioral health and a wide range of physical health problems across the life span. This mounting research is critical to understanding and providing the best possible treatments to those affected by mental health issues, but it also speaks to policy decisions related to health care spending. While much of the planning and efforts toward integration have involved services to adults, it is critical to understand and include the needs of children. This article will address some key differences in planning for integration between these populations, discuss the special circumstances faced when dealing with children, and highlight models and strategies that have been undertaken and show promise.
