Collaboration Between Child and Adolescent Psychiatrists and Mental Health Pharmacists to Improve Treatment Outcomes
Access to mental health care is a long-standing challenge. The high, rising prevalence of mental health disorders and a shortage of mental health professionals has further strained an already fragile system. The clinical pharmacy is underutilized within the mental health space.

Child Psychiatrists and Psychologists
Psychiatry and psychology have a long history of competition that too often interferes with the collaboration that can characterize complementary contributions to our common missions. We hope this article will inspire our disciplines to expand on this collaboration, for the sake of our children and families, our communities, our colleagues, and honestly, ourselves. We are better together than apart. This text is a blueprint for the assumptions, attitudes, skills, and advocacy that can make this partnership healthy and successful.

Collaboration with Schools and School-Based Health Centers
Since the early 1900s when school-based health services were first introduced, models of school-based health have evolved toward comprehensive and integrated models that include mental health. New and innovative models of Comprehensive Mental Health Systems offer a range of prevention and intervention strategies that are delivered across collaborative systems of community and school-based mental health. Studies of school-based health services indicate positive outcomes in health, mental health, and education. Child and adolescent psychiatrists can work with schools by providing direct service, consultation, and technical a...

Effective Partnership Care Models with Advanced Practice Psychiatric Nurses
The unmet behavioral health treatment needs of children and adolescents have become a public health crisis in the United States, with only 20% of youths obtaining assessment and intervention when indicated.

Ethical Imperatives for Participation in Integrated/Collaborative Care Models for Pediatric Mental Health Care
The significant and ongoing shortage of child and adolescent psychiatrists has limited access to mental health care in the pediatric population. In response to this problem, integrated/collaborative care models have been established. These models, as all imperfect things in medicine, have their own set of challenges. A careful ethical analysis of integrated/collaborative care models is essential to protect the social and emotional health and safety of children with mental illness. To this end, ethical assessment supports the use of integrated/collaborative care models, and recent studies have demonstrated the benefits of t...
