The World Psychiatric Association (WPA)
Presidential Program on Child Mental health
has developed a Comprehensive System for Child
and Adolescent Mental Health consisting of
three programs: Community Awareness,
Prevention and Services. In November 2003,
the Services Taskforce proposed three
projects:
1) Completion of the Project ATLAS,
2) An implementation evaluation of the
Comprehensive Services Program for Youth and
Families
3) Grant development to an
external funding agency to examine the impact
of such a program.
Project ATLAS is a
survey sent to multiple countries to assess
their infrastructure capacity with respect to
resources, governance, and system linkage for
child and adolescent mental health services.
The Services Taskforce has developed a system
development approach including the creation of
two intervention manuals (externalizing and
internalizing), a battery of assessment tools,
training materials and process, and evaluation
of the feasibility and acceptability of system
implementation. Five countries including
Brazil, Israel, Egypt, Lebanon, China, and
Russia will be participating. The project
is currently beginning to take externalizing
cases as each site, and is scheduling the
training on the internalizing manual for Fall
2004. Active cases and data collection will
run from September 2004 to May 2005. Data
will be collected throughout, analyzed and
presented at the WPA/WHO conference in Cairo,
Egypt in August of 2005.
