Mental health issues are widespread among children, but many never receive adequate treatment. One political solution proposed to address this disparity would be to fund mental health services through school-based programs and support collaboration among community and health organizations to address the needs of children. Regardless of whether this policy is implemented, health care professionals have a responsibility to promote access to care and patient health, which may include actively participating in the development of programs to provide services to children with mental health disorders.
心理健康问题在儿童中广泛存在，但许多儿童从未得到充分治疗。为解决这一差距而提出的一个政治解决方案是通过校内项目为心理健康服务提供资金，并支持社区和卫生组织之间的合作，以满足儿童的需求。无论这项政策是否实施，医疗保健专业人员都有责任促进获得医疗服务和患者健康，这可能包括积极参与制定为患有精神疾病的儿童提供服务的项目。
