Ohio Interagency Task Force on Mental Health and Juvenile Justice, Progress Report

The September 2012 report with recommendations calls for a system of care in which all the systems that may impact a youth and his or her family’s life — mental health, public education, substance abuse, juvenile justice, social service agencies and child protective services – work collaboratively to develop and improve the earlier identification of mental health needs and the service delivery and financing of systems and services responsive to the needs of youth. The Progress Report lists the recommendations and progress on them made as of June 2013.
