Recommendation 4:
Finally, it is important to establish ongoing systems for monitoring mental health needs and outcomes for all children — to accurately depict the needs over time and to inform the evaluation of initiatives designed to meet these needs. Such efforts should focus first on problems that are expected to increase in the short term including anxiety, depression, behaviour problems and posttraumatic stress — in addition to tracking progress at addressing underlying issues such as socioeconomic disparities. Monitoring could take the form of pragmatic yet robust population-based short surveys conducted in representative samples of children. Our review also suggests that many children who experience mental health problems after disasters eventually recover. So tracking outcomes is also a way of measuring success.

Recommendation 4:
Finally, in order to implement system-wide level solutions that are urgently needed, there needs to be an effective mechanism for resourcing this work. We recommend that the federal government consider Transfer Payments, specifically the Canada Social Transfer, as a mechanism to provide funding to provinces for supporting gender-based violence initiatives. If this solution is to be pursued, Transfer Payments would have to contain a clear set of accountabilities tied back to the National Action Plan, which will also allow for monitoring the progress towards its implementation.
