The Children’s Mental Health Network is a national alliance between communities, practitioners, families, agencies, alumni of system of care communities, and individuals that seek to share information, keep in touch, advocate for children’s mental health issues, and offer experience-based consultation and education to those interested in promoting the concept of systems of care. The Network is based out of Durham, North Carolina.

The Children’s Mental Health Network is committed to three core functions: 

• Educate: Provide information, mentorship, and resources to anyone interested in promoting the concept of systems of care. 
• Advocate: Provide tools and resources so that individuals, groups, and communities can effectively advocate for issues and policies that promote the concept of systems of care. 
• Collaborate: Provide virtual and in-person venues for collaboration and idea sharing between those committed to system of care values and principles and the infusion of these concepts into children’s services.
