Recommendation 1:
Effective children’s mental health services — including both prevention and treatment — must be provided for all those in need. As well, pre-existing service shortfalls must be addressed. Given predictions of as much as tenfold increases in the needs for the most affected children, in the short-term this will require ensuring comprehensive plans, substantially increasing budgets for children’s mental health, protecting these budgets, and ensuring efficient whole-of-government service coordination. While the front-end costs of such investments will be high, the long-term benefits will be high as well — including reducing costs associated with avoidable long-term mental health problems. For children with mild or transient symptoms, effective prevention programs can stop the progression to mental disorders, which often become entrenched and persist into adulthood with ensuing distress and disability; meanwhile, for those with disorders, effective treatments can reduce distress and speed the return to healthy development and functioning.
