An Overview of Non-School Mental-Health Support Systems for Children in Japan
説明
Purpose: Previous researches have provided an overview of the mental health support system in Japanese schools and have indicated that the mental-health support systems outside schools require attention. However, no previous study has comprehensively overviewed the Japanese mental-health support system. There are various types of facilities that focus on supporting children with mental health problems. The roles of these facilities and their relationships in communities should be publicized, as this might help the public obtain a comprehensive understanding of the mental health support system for children. Methods: We chose every kind of facilities related to mental health for children in Japan and conducted the review narratively.
