Last week, we announced a new study has been released, analyzing Minnesota’s current continuum of mental health services for children with intensive mental health needs and identifying potential service models and funding mechanisms to address gaps in the state’s continuum of care.
The full report is now available at the Wilder website.
In addition, the email sent last week had an incorrect link to the Executive summary
More about the study:
The Children’s Intensive Mental Health Services Study, completed by Wilder Research, was commissioned by DHS at the request of the 2016 Minnesota State Legislature. Recommendations are designed to achieve five key goals:
- Increase the adoption of effective residential treatment practices
- Expand the capacity of the state’s intensive in-home and community-based mental health treatment options
- Expand Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facilities (PRTFs) in the state using a flexible approach that will allow this level of care to reach youth with a broader range of mental health needs
- Continue efforts to increase the mental health workforce
- Develop the data framework necessary to understand the needs of youth with mental illness and the effectiveness of services
