Abstract

The most commonly used service delivery systems for pediatric behavioral health care are primary care practices and schools. Increasingly, pediatric behavioral health care is being integrated with medical care to provide more comprehensive and coordinated services for children. Unfortunately, behavioral health services offered in primary care and school are disconnected, resulting in parents being in the position of attempting to coordinate care, which may not be feasible for many families, especially those experiencing heightened levels of stress and limited resources. In this chapter, we propose a cross-system service delivery framework that links integrated services based in primary care with services based in schools. This framework is based on a multi-tier, public health model that provides a continuum of prevention and intervention services.
