Washington, DC: Georgetown University Child Development Center, National Technical Assistance Center for Children's Mental Health, 194 pp.

Annotation: This report describes how the Alaskan Youth Initiative works with troubled children in a community setting, using a case manager, psychotherapists, psychiatrists, foster homes, and other residential settings, and involving the parents and school personnel so that the young person has individualized, continuing acceptance and attention to his needs. Several case studies illustrate the problems the child had, often being in and out of mental hospitals, and continued to have as the AYI workers struggled to set up a system to meet his needs, then the gradual progress, including what worked and what didn't.
