Transformation of Mental Health Care

Transformation of Mental Health Care is sponsored by Klingenstein Third Generation Foundation. Focuses on improving access to high quality mental health care for children and adolescents, especially those from low-income families and under-resourced communities, or other minoritized populations that may have limited supports and resources. Research into treatment models for personality disorders in these populations could be relevant.

Transformation of Mental Health Care - Klingenstein Philanthropies Transformation of Mental Health Care In 2015, the Foundation initiated the “Transformation of Mental Health Care,” a program focused on improving access to high quality mental health care for children and adolescents, especially those from low-income families and under-resourced communities, or other minoritized populations that may have limited supports and resources.

This includes families that come from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds and families that live in poverty. This program was prompted by recognition by KTGF Board members, based in part on their personal experiences, that it is often difficult for parents to access high-quality care when confronted with the challenging and often complex mental health needs of their children.

Klingenstein Grants Program As a parent of a child who had ADHD and Depression, I was constantly frustrated by how difficult it was to get care that met my son’s academic and mental health needs and also my parenting concerns. That help should be easily available to everyone – especially those most in need.

The Klingenstein Third Generation Foundation holds a biennial scientific meeting which allows fellows and grantees an opportunity to network with peers and learn from, and exchange ideas with, leaders in the field of child and adolescent mental health. The meeting brings together current fellows and grantees, who are required to attend during the term of their award, as well as select past awardees.

It takes place in New York City and includes slide and poster presentations, with time for questions and interaction with the program’s advisors and the foundations’ trustees.

MedStar Health Research Institute Project Title: Improving Mental Health Care Access and Outcomes for Black Families with Young Children by Integrating Peer-Led Parenting Groups into Early Learning Settings This project will extend a previous pilot study by evaluating a preventive parenting intervention, Strengthening Family Coping Resources Peer-to-Peer, with Black families with children ages 0 to 5 years-old, delivered outside a traditional clinic setting.

Expected long-term results include a reduction in the development of at-risk children’s disruptive behavior disorders.
