CYFC's premier publication.

Children's Mental Health eReview
CYFC's Children’s Mental Health eReview promotes use of research in practice and policy in order to improve services for children. Each eReview issue features (i) a review of published research in a specific area related to children’s mental health, and (ii) a collection of responses from different types of service providers regarding use of that research. The primary audience for the eReview is children’s mental health service providers, policy-makers and policy-implementers, but content is appropriate for parents and anyone working with children and families.

The Child Welfare Series of the Children’s Mental Health eReview (Series 2) is supported in part by grant GRK%29646 awarded to the Center for Advanced Studies in Child Welfare, School of Social Work at the University of Minnesota. Grant funds are Title IV-E funds made available through the Minnesota Department of Human Services, Children and Family Services Division.
