RESUMO

Mental health teams have long been the foundation for mental health services provided to children and youth. Changes in professional practices, the emergence of evidence-based care, the importance of integrating mental health into primary health care delivery, the decrease in professional ‘ownership’ of mental health care competencies and other factors now challenge the traditional structure and function of these teams. New and novel frameworks will be needed to address mental health care needs for problems that do not require ‘traditional’ mental health service interventions, to enable integration of mental health care into usual health services, to promote specialist mental health care delivery for those in need, and to facilitate the development and translation of mental health research into practice. In all of these new team structures, the active participation of young people and their families will be necessary.
