Systems of Care: Promising Practices in Children's Mental Health

Welcome to the Promising Practices Mini-Web!  Here you can find information on what's working for children with serious emotional disturbance in systems of care. 

On this site, you can find three series of monographs on Promising Practices in Children's Mental Health.  The most recent, the 2001 Series, contains three volumes.  The 2000 Series includes three volumes and the 1998 Series, which was released in early 1999, includes seven volumes.
Each monograph volume is available for download as a PDF pdf vol 1 file (which requires Adobe Acrobat).   Please have patience when downloading large files!  In addition, the Executive Summaries are available to browse online in both English and Spanish.  Volumes downloaded from this website are free of charge, but hard copies cost $12 per volume for shipping and handling.
