2.Congress makes the following
findings:
(1)According to the
Surgeon General's Conference on Children's Mental Health: A National Action
Agenda, mental health is a critical component of children's learning and
general health.
(2)According to the
Surgeon General's Conference on Children's Mental Health: A National Action
Agenda, one in 10 children and adolescents suffer from mental illness severe
enough to cause some level of impairment.
(3)According to the
Surgeon General's Conference on Children's Mental Health: A National Action
Agenda, only one in five children and adolescents who suffer from severe mental
illness receive the specialty mental health services they require.
(4)According to the
World Health Organization, childhood neuropsychiatric disorders will rise by
over 50 percent by 2020, internationally, to become one of the five most common
causes of morbidity, mortality, and disability among children.
(5)According to the
Surgeon General's Conference on Children's Mental Health: A National Action
Agenda, the burden of suffering experienced by children with mental illness and
their families has created a health crisis in this country.
(6)According to the
Surgeon General's Conference on Children's Mental Health: A National Action
Agenda, there is broad evidence that the nation lacks a unified infrastructure
to help children suffering from mental illness;
(7)According to the
President's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health, President George Bush
identified three obstacles preventing Americans with mental illness from
getting the care they require: stigma that surrounds mental illness; unfair
treatment limitations and financial requirements placed on mental health
benefits in private health insurance, and; the fragmented mental health service
delivery system.
(8)According to the
Surgeon General's Conference on Children's Mental Health: A National Action
Agenda, one way to ensure that the country's health system meets the mental
health needs of children is to move towards a community-based mental health
delivery system that balances health promotion, disease prevention, early
detection, and universal access to care.
(9)According to the
President's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health, transforming the country's
mental health delivery system rests on two principles: services and treatments
must be consumer and family-centered, and; care must focus on increasing a
person's ability to successfully cope with life's challenges, on facilitating
recovery, and building resiliency.
(10)According to the
Surgeon General's Conference on Children's Mental Health: A National Action
Agenda, the mental health and resiliency of children can be ensured by methods
that: promote public awareness of children's mental health issues and reduce
stigma associated with mental illness; continue to develop, disseminate, and
implement scientifically-proven prevention and treatment services in the field
of children's mental health; improve the assessment of and recognition of
mental health needs in children; eliminate racial, ethnic and socioeconomic
disparities in access to mental healthcare services; improve the infrastructure
for children's mental health services, including support for
scientifically-proven interventions across professions; increase access to and
coordination of quality mental healthcare services; train frontline providers
to recognize and manage mental health issues, and educate mental healthcare
providers about scientifically-proven prevention and treatment services, and;
monitor the access to and coordination of quality mental healthcare
services.
(11)According to the
President's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health, the country's mental
health delivery system can be successfully transformed by methods that: ensure
Americans understand that mental health is essential to overall health; ensure
mental health care is consumer and family-driven; eliminate disparities in
mental healthcare services; ensure early mental health screening, assessment,
and referral services are common practices; ensure that excellent mental health
care is delivered and research is accelerated, and; technology is used to
access mental health care and information.
