Emerging research indicates that significant numbers of formerly homeless families residing in permanent supportive housing have caregivers with substance use and mental health disorders, and children with histories of exposure to violence, abuse, and out-of-home placement. These factors place children at risk for adverse psychosocial outcomes, including later homelessness, providing a strong rationale for embedding child-focused prevention and intervention services in supportive housing contexts. This article describes a developing community-university partnership whose goal is to advance practice and research in the adaptation and dissemination of mental health prevention and early intervention for children in supportive housing.
新出现的研究表明，大量居住在永久性支持性住房中的曾经无家可归的家庭，其照顾者存在物质使用和精神健康障碍，孩子有遭受暴力、虐待和离开家庭安置的经历。这些因素使儿童面临不良心理社会后果的风险，包括日后无家可归，这为在支持性住房环境中嵌入以儿童为重点的预防和干预服务提供了有力的理由。本文描述了一个正在发展的社区与大学的伙伴关系，其目标是推进在支持性住房中为儿童调整和传播心理健康预防及早期干预方面的实践和研究。
