Abstract
Within recent years, the focus of children's mental health policy in the United States has been improving outcomes for children with mental health challenges and their families through the use of evidence-based practices at the child and family level. This paper describes an exploratory study on the relationship between systems of care with an individualized care component, which brings family, youth (where appropriate), members of the natural support system, and members of the formal service system together to develop plans that reflect a comprehensive focus on strengths and needs of families in multiple life domains.
