"The single most important obstacle that pushes families into giving up
custody is a lack of access to appropriate and timely mental health services
and supports for children in both the public and private sectors" ~The United States Surgeon General
The Access to Better Care Initiative Workgroup is comprised of cabinet
directors, the Family and Children First Council, families, county agency
representatives and the Center for Innovative Practice. Our goal is to secure enough state funding for state departments to be able
to work together to provide the most effective behavioral health care for
all children, adolescents and families; so that they can with a family; in
their own communities; and in school whenever possible. We encourage you to
use the materials provided below to take part is this critical initiative
for Ohio's children and families. Contact Gayle Tenenbaum at 614.222.6555
or gtenenb@aol.com if you have any questions about the ABC Initiative.
