Ongoing Monitoring

Few studies have examined a diversity of professionals’ perspectives in providing children’s mental health (CMH) care, particularly for ongoing-complex problems. Based on interviews with 16 primary healthcare (PHC) providers, care for ongoing-complex CMH problems depended on provider interest and scope of practice. Most providers felt PHC is where ongoing-complex CMH problems should be cared for, where providers can emphasize advocacy, coordination, and ongoing monitoring; few felt able to provide this type of care. A comprehensive approach for incorporating PHC with specialized MH services is needed. Defining a care coordinator would be a clear step toward improving collaboration and care.

This chapter deals with Hadassah's projects for immigrant youth in particular. Hadassah's work in caring for children and teenagers in Israel's early years laid a particular emphasis on the care of young immigrants, who in the early 1950s constituted some 71 per cent of all children and teenagers within the Jewish population of Israel. Tens of thousands of youngsters arrived in these years, and the education they had received, if any, in the countries from which they came differed from that of their contemporaries in the Yishuv. As a result of the mass immigration, new social classes developed. The widespread social and economic hardship in these groups presented a serious challenge to the young nation, and a large number of the children and teenagers among them would years later be recognized as ‘underprivileged’. At the same time, there was a ‘frightening lack of professional workers [for children and youngsters] of all types’: teachers, educational counsellors, psychologists, psychiatrists, and social workers.
