Résumé
Collaboration between the child welfare system and health care practitioners has become increasingly necessary in order to meet the often-significant health needs of system-involved youth. Child welfare medical directors and psychiatric medical directors have been implemented as a means to address this need in several state child welfare systems. Building on the core principles of the National Guidelines for Child and Youth Behavioral Health Crisis Care, medical and psychiatric medical directors can help ensure youth receive the least-restrictive, most appropriate level of behavioral health care; prioritizing care involvement with caregivers in community-based settings.
