Program areas at Young Minds Advocacy Project

System reform litigation and implementation eee Young Minds Advocacy Project continues to work on cases in California, Washington and Idaho Each of these cases seeks to pro vide access to intensive home and community-based mental health services to Medicaid eligible and low-income youth The claims arose due to the failure of public agencies to provide mandated care under state and federal law. Providing these required services to thousands of children will allow many to stay at home and avoid placement in foster care, juvenile justice or mental health facilities Not only does this improve outcomes for youth and families, it lowers treatment costs The number of children Involved varies from a high of 40,000 in CA, to 9,000 in ID and 6,000 in WA. The cases are captioned Katie TR v Dreyfus (WA), and Jeff D. v. Otter YMAP is also investigating additional state systems to determine whether there is cause and opportunity mitiate systemic reforms enna
Research and Analysis 22 n eee ccc ee nee ne ene enna e ee nnce ae ennnnnnneeeeee cence eeneeeenenenneee: We conducted research and analysis on mental health programs and policy to better understand and explain how services are planned, provided, monitored, evaluated and funded This work allows us to identify systemic challenges and opportunities relating the provision of adequate and appropriate care Issues covered included the 2011 Public Safety Realignment of California's mental health funding, access to mental health services for foster youth, quality contro! systems and methods, special education related mental health services, stakeholder engagement, and agency and program accountability. In 2017 we published a report entitled "California’s Children and Youths’ System of Care An Agenda to Transform Promises Into Practice” The report funded in part by the Zellerbach Family Foundation, detailed challenges and opportunities for meeting the mental health needs of California youth served by the public mental health system
