Disparities and disproportionalities in human services and behavioral health care—such as lack of access to prevention and treatment services—can threaten child, youth, and family development and well-being, as well as performance in school and on the job. This Blueprint enables communities and states to develop and implement data-driven strategies through a step-by-step process.

Zero-tolerance school policies that remove youth from the classroom are resulting in an increasing number of students failing to complete high school, and in unnecessary involvement in the juvenile justice system. AIR has developed an evidence-based framework to address the issue across educational settings.

AIR’s Senior Child Welfare Specialist Kim Helfgott guided the team that developed this issue brief which outlines methods for assisting parents with mental illness, who also have children who receive treatment or services from mental health or child welfare programs.

This document describes the common goals and shared values between systems of care and child welfare, explains why child welfare should be involved in systems of care, and lists the benefits to child welfare from participating as part of a system of care.

The purpose of this project was to conduct a study of the education received by youth residing in licensed children's institutions (group homes) throughout California.

This presentation focused on the use of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) as an evidence-based treatment for children involved with the child welfare system and their families.
