In New York State and elsewhere, the lack of outpatient services results in inappropriate psychiatric hospitalization of children. Funding for specialized mental health services for children is not federally or state-mandated and county-levied dollars often are required to generate a state match. In New York State, counties relying exclusively on traditional sources of mental hygiene funding are unlikely to develop a variety of quality programs for children. This article discusses in detail how interagency collaboration developed in Dutchess County, New York resulted in procurement of funds that financed an array of children's outpatient mental health services to county residents.
在纽约州及其他地区，门诊服务的匮乏导致儿童被不恰当地送进精神病院。为儿童提供专门心理健康服务的资金既非联邦政府规定，也非州政府规定，通常需要郡征收的资金来获得州政府的匹配资金。在纽约州，仅依赖传统精神卫生资金来源的郡不太可能为儿童开发各种高质量项目。本文详细讨论了纽约州达奇斯郡的跨部门合作是如何促成资金采购的，这些资金为郡居民提供了一系列儿童门诊心理健康服务。
