Abstract

Results of an evaluation of the Child and Adolescent Service System Program (CASSP) in California are reported in this article. Interviews were conducted with human services agency staff ( n = 60) and parents of children with serious emotional disturbance (SED; n = 67) regarding changes over the previous 4 years in their local children's service systems. Despite administrative obstacles and significant funding limitations, results indicate that CASSP had a modest, positive impact in the state of California. Specifically, CASSP increased interagency collaboration in human services planning and delivery and positively affected family participation in all aspects of services. CASSP inspired county mental health administrators to be leaders in the effort to establish culturally competent systems of care for children with SED. County agency administrators reported more significant positive changes than did parents of children with SED. Both groups of subjects indicated that many children with SED are not identified by service systems, and the needs of children with SED in the state of California are not adequately addressed.
