Description
Children and youth must be guaranteed a healthy environment where they can grow, be active participants in their communities, and set and fulfill life goals that meet their uniqueness and dignity. This is no easy task, as basic needs such as safety, education, financial resources, healthy caregivers and optimal life exposures are the base upon which health and resilience can be built. In their book on The Social Determinants of Mental Health which provided an extensive and detailed overview of the topic, Compton and Shim closed the final chapter with a “call to action” for behavioral health professions and they highlighted specific action items. The council on children adolescents and their families responded to that “call to action” with the Resource document titled: "Social Determinants of Mental Health in Children & Youth". The recommendations in the document also align with the Strengthening Families Protective Factors framework developed by The Center for the Study of Social Policy (CSSP) which identifies key areas for focus in increasing child and family resilience: ensuring concrete supports are available, cultivating caregiver resilience, increasing caregiver knowledge of parenting and child development, strengthening family social connections, and supporting the social and emotional competence of the child so they can form positive relationships and regulate emotions.
