Primary Prevention—Whose Responsibility?
Abstract
The authors believe that community mental health centers must make a commitment to develop primary prevention services for highrisk groups in their catchment areas. Boston State Hospital, in collaboration with its community and other human service agencies, has developed a program focused on the needs of children. It includes a school program, community center, family intervention unit, children's developmental workshop, court program, and a special high-risk group program. The critical need for a new alliance of human service providers is stressed.
