The Research and Training Center for Children’s Mental Health (RTC) at the University of South Florida conducted several five-year studies to identify critical implementation factors that support states, communities, tribes, and territories in their efforts to build effective systems of care to serve children and adolescents with or at risk for serious emotional disturbances and their families. One of these studies examined financing strategies used by states, communities, and tribes to support the infrastructure, services, and supports that comprise systems of care. The study of effective financing practices for systems of care was initiated in October 2004 and was conducted jointly by the RTC, the Human Service Collaborative of Washington, DC, the National Technical Assistance Center for Children’s Mental Health at Georgetown University, and Family Support Systems, Inc. of Arizona. The study was supported with federal funding from the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research of the Department of Education and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
