Veronique Delvenne ; Hôpital Universitaire des Enfants Reine Fabiola, Brussels, Belgium

Abstract

Mental and behavioural problems during childhood and adolescence are a serious public concern and are increasing actually
and in the next 10 years. In Belgium, policymakers have reorganize mental health care for children and adolescents in care circuits
and care network that include and support intersectoral collaborations. They also support creation of mobile out-reach team for
crisis and assertive care to help patient and their families in the least restrictive environment possible. Specific programs are
developed for double diagnosis and disabled children but also juvenile offenders with psychiatric problems. The care network should
also assure a rapid liaison function to the first line professionals.
