SAMHSA notes that one half of all diagnosable mental illnesses begin 
by age 14, and three fourths by age 24, and that early detection and 
early intervention can yield enormous benefits to the individual, the 
family and society.

The report's other major findings include:

.  The need to communicate the promise, societal benefits and
    cost-effectiveness of investing in prevention and resilience 
building efforts,

.  The importance of developing evidenced-based practices with accountability
    systems to ensure better insight into how to maximize program efficacy, and

.  The benefits of developing a coordinated assessment and accountability
    system for promotion, prevention and treatment in children's mental health.

Parenting and Enhancing Child Resilience are available on the web at
