New mental health help for juvenile offenders

5th Oct 2005, 15:09 GMT

Although as many as 65 to75 percent of juvenile offenders have one or more psychiatric disorders, most juvenile correctional facilities do not have the resources to serve them. To help address this problem, a new set of guidelines for treating the mental health needs of incarcerated youth has been published in the October 2005 issue of the journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP).
