Editorial: Can We Finally Call Wraparound Evidence-Based for Youth With Serious Emotional Disorders?

No greater obligation exists for child and adolescent psychiatrists than understanding how to take care of the most complex youth – those with serious emotional disorders (SEDs), co-occurring conditions, and multi-system involvement. Child and adolescent psychiatrists have the highest levels of training to assess the confluence of biological, environmental, and psychological factors impacting youth with complex behavioral he alth needs and guide their treatment. With allied professionals expanding their capacity to take care of more straightforward behavioral health concerns, a clear domain of the child and adolescent psychiatrist becomes consultation, and at least a familiarity with working directly with the youth that are hardest to treat.
