They are uniquely familiar with the consequences of the lack of such a system and the inadequacy of other prevention supports, and many of the children and families they serve need quality behavioral health care. [...] There is no single solution to supporting children with complex behavioral health needs, and deep cross-system analysis is needed at the state and local levels to understand the needs of children being served as well as system capacity and performance. [...] In addition to administrative data sources that child welfare and behavioral health agencies regularly draw on, geospatial data from platforms like the Community Opportunity Map and Latino Data Hub can be used to examine child and family well-being and the range of social determinants that impact them. [...] Well-resourced, well-trained, and highly skilled child welfare and behavioral health workforces are essential to meet the needs of children and families in a timely and culturally responsive way. [...] In addition to stabilizing the workforce, ongoing training for staff to build rapport and empathy with children and families, effectively assess needs and provide appropriate supports, and develop clear case plans in partnership with children and their caregivers is essential.
