Abstract
The following article reports on the results of service needs assessments of a cohort of youths released from a state psychiatric facility as perceived by service providers and families/caregivers. Families as well as service providers consistently agreed on three service areas of high need--psychotherapy for the child, family therapy and parent skill training. However, families perceived a need for a number of other services that are not traditionally provided by the mental health system such as after school recreation activities and self-help and support groups for the child. The discrepancies between service providers and families' perceptions of assessed needs may lead to families dropping out of service due to the unresponsiveness of the services in meeting their perceived needs. Steps that service providers need to take to be more responsive to the needs of families are discussed.
