One in five adults and one in six youth experience a mental health illness within a year. These common conditions are often managed within complex public and private care provision structures that are fragmented, siloed and difficult to navigate. These problems have become increasingly evident to stakeholders and policy makers, such that several states have started to modernize and improve their mental health care facilities and infrastructure. However, there are no guidelines for these efforts, meaning each group tends to tackle these problems in different ways. Redesigning the US Mental Health Care System brings together an array of experts working to spark lasting change in mental health care systems across the United States. Chapters explore how facility redesigns, accessibility of funding, technological advances, and other strategies can work in tandem to optimize the process of delivering services to people in need. By spotlighting these efforts to implement necessary changes--as well as providing real-life experiences from users and practitioners within these systems--Redesigning the US Mental Health Care System creates a vision of a unified continuum of care designed to serve people at the right time and in the right place.
