The US child mental health care system requires a revival and reimagination. We need to shift toward healing-centered models of care and prioritize access to high-quality mental health care through policy changes and resource allocation. Funding community-based programs that provide culturally responsive, antiracist, and equitable (CARE) systems is essential. Policies must be implemented to reduce barriers to accessing mental health services for underresourced communities. By prioritizing (CARE) over control, we can build a just workforce that is equipped to address the needs of a growing diverse population and ensure that all children and families can heal and thrive.
美国儿童心理健康保健系统需要复兴和重新构想。我们需要转向以治疗为中心的护理模式，并通过政策改革和资源配置优先考虑获得高质量的心理健康护理。为提供文化响应、反种族主义和公平的（CARE）系统的基于社区的项目提供资金至关重要。必须实施政策以减少资源匮乏社区获得心理健康服务的障碍。通过优先考虑（CARE）而不是控制，我们可以建立一个公正的劳动力队伍，使他们有能力满足不断增长的多样化人口的需求，并确保所有儿童和家庭都能康复和茁壮成长。
