Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Child Behavioral Health Navigators (cbhN)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention

CbhNs will engage in a series of face to face and phone contacts with families to coordinate needed appointments at mental health care sites, as well as a range of human service support organizations (e.g. housing, food, financial, legal assistance). Over time, contact may decrease as the youth/family make ongoing connection with mental health care and other resources. However, over the course of the study (twelve months), twice per month check-ins will be routine between cbhNs and families. In addition, the cbhN will be expected to actively engage with the range of service providers and mental health resources as needed and preferred by the family. These contacts include telephone linkage calls, in-person advocacy meetings and at time, accompanying the youth and families to meetings at each organization.

Group II: Standard CareActive Control1 Intervention

Standard care will consist of 1) community-based screening and referral and 2) monthly contacts by a case manager, who will track attendance in mental health services and provide referrals upon request.
