transformation of mental health care
In 2015, the Klingenstein Third Generation Foundation (“KTGF”) embarked on an initiative to improve access to high quality mental health care for children and adolescents, especially those from low-income families and under-resourced communities, or other marginalized populations that may have limited supports and resources. The principal objective of this initiative has been to fund academic research in the development of innovative models of service delivery that can be implemented at scale such as those that leverage technology, non-traditional treatment settings, and professional and paraprofessional treatment providers or others (e.g., teachers, parents, primary care physicians) that help parents access high quality mental health care for their children or that help older youth access care on their own. With this initiative, the Foundation intends to fund studies that help clinicians, families, policy makers and other stakeholders improve access to high quality mental health care and improve child outcomes.
