Preventing Mental, Emotional, and Behavioral Disorders Among Young People: Progress and Possibilities


This report calls on the nation—its leaders, its mental health research and service provision agencies, its schools, its primary care medical systems, its community-based organizations, its child welfare and criminal justice systems—to make prevention of mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders and the promotion of mental health of young people a very high priority. By all realistic measures, no such priority exists today. The report therefore urges action at the highest levels to ensure that public health decision makers and the public understand the nature and magnitude of this problem; that research to prevent it is carefully coordinated and well funded; and that institutions and communities have the resources and the responsibility to promote the implementation of prevention interventions that can address shortfalls in the public response.
