Research
========

The Research and Training Center on Family Support and Children's
Mental Health has been funded for another five years (October 1, 2004
through September 30, 2009) to pursue an integrated set of research,
training, technical assistance, and dissemination activities. The
Center's work focuses on two related themes 1) community integration
for children and adolescents with emotional and behavioral disorders
and their families, and 2) strengthening family and youth
participation in child and adolescent mental health services.

The Center's research activities are concentrated on six major
research projects:

Transition to Independence is evaluating a pilot school-based
program that assists participants age 18-21 with mental health and
developmental disabilities to successfully transition to
employment and appropriate levels of independent living and use of
adult social services. To achieve this goal, the project model
combines mental health support with employment readiness and life
skills training.

AMP: Achieve My Plan develops instruments to assess youth
empowerment, youth participation in planning, and perceptions of
the utility and feasibility of youth participation in planning.
The project also develops and evaluates an intervention to
increase the participation of youth and family members in the
individualized planning and service process. Finally, the project
develops a conceptual framework for understanding how the idea of
recovery (as understood with respect to adult mental health)
applies to children and adolescents. View the latest project's
latest product, a "Youth Participation in Planning: Why it
Matters" video.

Work Life Integration directly addresses the issue of community
integration for the adult caregivers of children and youth with
emotional disorders, specifically with regard to their ability to
maintain employment. This project is designed to influence the
knowledge, attitudes, and practices of human resource
professionals, with a view to reducing stigma and increasing the
family friendliness of their organizations.

Transforming Transitions to Kindergarten focuses on the families'
experiences of the shift from preschool to kindergarten when
children have emotional/behavioral challenges. We are developing
and testing a training intervention to increase the capacity of
early childhood and kindergarten settings to meet the needs of
these children, and a family-driven team-based transition
intervention to promote the success of children and their families
as they move from pre-school to kindergarten. The project also
includes a review of evidence-based practice in the field of
mental health consultation.

Practice-Based Evidence is conducting a case study in partnership
with a Native American youth organization and the National Indian
Child Welfare Association. The project addresses the need to
conduct effectiveness studies of practices that are believed to be
helpful, but for which little evidence exists.

Additionally, the Center will continue to undertake a range of
dissemination, training, and technical assistance activities.

These include our Building on Family Strengths Conference, our journal
Focal Point, our award-winning website, and our listserv, rtcUpdates.
