dc.description.abstract | This analysis reviews the situation of child and adolescent mental health in Chile, organizational determinants,
and the initiatives and interventions implemented to enhance child development despite the country’s
inequities. Progressive development of national mental health plans is covered, from the country’s first
plan in 2000, to growing the number of mental health professionals and the training they receive, such as
MhGAP, to the implementation of “Chile Crece Contigo,” whose preliminary evaluations are starting to show
some effectiveness. However, the World Health Organization reports that progress in complying with the
United Nations Convention of Children´s Rights is insufficient. A set off legislative initiatives on behalf of children
and adolescents have been passed, while others are being discussed in Parliament. There is much
to be done in the nation as a whole and within its health system to ensure improved child and adolescent
mental health and wellbeing. More research into child and adolescent mental health should be undertaken.
Adequate funding and policymaking are also crucial to giving priority to child and adolescent mental health
in Chile. | |
