The Care4Youth study provides further insights.
Based on the results of our study, we can say that care providers have identified several barriers to providing care for adolescents with mental health problems, which relate to six themes – 1. legislative framework and legislative changes; 2. financing of the care system; 3. coordination of care; 4. workforce development, education, methodological guidance and supervision; 5. personnel and institutional capacities; and 6. administrative burden.
Addressing these barriers within the care system from a “frontline” perspective provides guidance for effectively improving psychosocial care for adolescents with mental health problems. According to care providers, the organization and financing of the care system requires adaptation; the burden on care providers should be reduced; and care providers require high-quality practical education, training and methodological guidance.
