- Abstract:
- Provision of care for children with mental health disorders or behavioural difficulties differs from country to country. Historically, Germany has the highest number of inpatient beds throughout Europe (64 inpatient beds per 100,000 young people). In addition, nearly 146 departments for child and adolescent psychiatry offer day-care beds as well as ambulatory care. A high number of resident child and adolescent psychiatrists/psychotherapists (more than 12,000 professionals) complement provision of care in the different regions of Germany. Yet, only 50% of children and adolescents with mental health problems receive the treatment they need. Barriers to care - for example lack of transportation, fear of stigmatization, long distances in rural regions or fear of long hospital inpatient stays - keep families from presenting their child/adolescent to the relevant institutions. Recently, a new treatment module: StäB, an intensive daily home treatment, delivered by a multiprofessional team, has been added to the portfolio of treatment options in Germany. This closes the gap between highly intensive inpatient care and low-frequency outpatient treatment, allowing a continuum of care in intensity and frequency within the treatment alternatives.
