Child and Family Outreach Services have been an important adjunct to urban community child and adolescent mental health treatment. The Child and Family Outreach Services Program was developed as an extension of a child and adolescent outpatient and child partial hospitalization program to provide a comprehensive continuum of treatment. The Child and Family Outreach Program generalizes and links traditional therapeutic services to the patient's and family's environment through in-home, in-school, and community intervention. The latter treatment model enables the mental health service provider comprehensively to treat and effect positive change with high-risk patients and their families. Outreach service involvement has increased treatment compliance and reduced out-of-home placements.
儿童与家庭外展服务一直是城市社区儿童和青少年心理健康治疗的重要辅助手段。儿童与家庭外展服务项目是作为儿童和青少年门诊及儿童部分住院治疗项目的延伸而设立的，旨在提供全面的连续治疗。儿童与家庭外展项目通过家庭、学校和社区干预，将传统治疗服务推广并与患者及其家庭的环境相联系。后一种治疗模式使心理健康服务提供者能够全面治疗高危患者及其家庭，并实现积极改变。外展服务的参与提高了治疗依从性，减少了家庭外安置。
