New From The Link Center: Supporting Children With Complex Needs

September 21, 2026

New from The Link Center! "Cross-System Strategies to Support Children with Complex Behavioral Health Conditions" offers a practical framework for improving support for children and families navigating multiple service systems.

Centered on three essentials — a safe place, treatment to heal, and opportunities to grow — the resource offers actionable strategies to strengthen services, financing, data use, and cross-system collaboration. State leaders, providers, families, and advocates can use it to identify gaps, strengthen coordination, and put more effective community-based approaches into practice.
