Journal of Youth and Adolescence Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

This paper focuses on the increasing need for partnership across service systems. Data are presented that show a high degree of overlap in the needs of different client bases, and this overlap points to the demand for more comprehensive programming than is feasible within any one system. The paper goes on to discuss a unique interagency partnership currently underway, and the implications this demonstration program can have for future public policy and programming.
