Grant Description: The NTTAC will serve as a national resource and training center to promote the planning and development of child- and family-centered, culturally competent, and coordinated systems of care for children and adolescents with, or at risk for, a serious emotional disturbance and their families within home- and community-based settings. The NTTAC will provide access to information and expertise on systems of care development, implementation, and policy issues through a variety of knowledge distribution approaches and technologies. Priority areas of focus will include: Strengthening the capacity of States and communities to transform their mental health system; State planning and policy development to implement family-driven and youth-guided comprehensive systems of care across child-serving systems; family and youth-centered care planning; financing strategies in public and private sectors; data management and accountability; workforce and leadership development; evidence-based practice; early identification and intervention; integration of care with primary health, child-care, schools, child welfare, juvenile justice, and substance abuse; cultural, racial, and geographic disparities; vulnerable population groups; and technology coordination and dissemination. NTTAC will provide targeted technical assistance to State and local child-serving agencies, Indian tribes and tribal organizations, and Pacific Island jurisdictions to provide support for integrated, responsive mental health delivery systems for children, adolescents and their families (with families being broadly defined to include a variety of caretakers such as grandparents and extended kinship relationships). Activities will serve to implement the six goals set out by the Presidents New Freedom Commission Report, with a special focus on the following recommendations: create a comprehensive state mental health plan; promote the mental health of young children; advance evidence-based practices using dissemination and demonstration projects and create a public-private partnership to guide their implementation; improve and expand the workforce providing evidence-based mental health services and supports; develop and implement integrated electronic health record and personal health information systems; create individualized plans of care for children and their families; address cultural, racial, and geographic disparities; and promote early identification and intervention.
