There are effective treatments, services, and supports that can help children and youth with mental health problems and those at risk to thrive and live successfully.

Social-emotional Development in Early Childhood: What Every Policymaker Should Know
The early years of life present a unique opportunity to lay the foundation for healthy development. It is a time of great growth and of vulnerability. Research on early childhood has underscored the impact of the first five years of a child's life on his/her social-emotional development. Negative early experiences can impair children's mental health and effect their cognitive, behavioral, social-emotional development

Loan and nonloan flows in the Australian interbank network
High-value transactions between Australian banks are settled in the Reserve
Bank Information and Transfer System (RITS) administered by the Reserve Bank of
Australia. RITS operates on a real-time gross settlement (RTGS) basis and
settles payments sourced from the SWIFT, the Austraclear, and the interbank
transactions entered directly into RITS. In this paper, we analyse a dataset
received from the Reserve Bank of Australia that includes all interbank
transactions settled in RITS on an RTGS basis during five consecutive weekdays
from 19 February 2007 inclusive, a week of relatively quiescent market
conditions. The source, destination, and value of each transaction are known,
which allows us to separate overnight loans from other transactions (nonloans)
and reconstruct monetary flows between banks for every day in our sample. We
conduct a novel analysis of the flow stability and examine the connection
between loan and nonloan flows. Our aim is to understand the underlying causal
mechanism connecting loan and nonloan flows. We find that the imbalances in the
banks' exchange settlement funds resulting from the daily flows of nonloan
transactions are almost exactly counterbalanced by the flows of overnight
loans. The correlation coefficient between loan and nonloan imbalances is about
-0.9 on most days. Some flows that persist over two consecutive days can be
highly variable, but overall the flows are moderately stable in value. The
nonloan network is characterised by a large fraction of persistent flows,
whereas only half of the flows persist over any two consecutive days in the
loan network. Moreover, we observe an unusual degree of coherence between
persistent loan flow values on Tuesday and Wednesday. We probe static
topological properties of the Australian interbank network and find them
consistent with those observed in other countries

Unclaimed Children Revisited: The Status of Children's Mental Health Policy in the United States
The needs of children and youth who experience mental health difficulties, as well as the needs of their families, cannot be addressed adequately without solid policy foundations at both state and federal levels. Unclaimed Children Revisited: The Status of Children's Mental Health Policy in the United States aims to document and assess how well child mental health policies across the 50 states and three territories respond to the needs of children and youth with mental health problems, those at risk, and their families. Comprising a national study and four sub-studies, this report presents a range of data collected from service users, providers, family members, youth advocates, and state and county system leaders across the child serving spectrum. The report then uses these data to identify state- and federal-level policy implications and recommendations with the goal of promoting improved mental health service delivery through policy reform
