With one in five children and one in two adolescents experiencing mental health issues annually, the economic burden is significant, reaching $247 billion. The research article titled "Coordination of sustainable financing for evidence-based youth mental health treatments: protocol for development and evaluation of the fiscal mapping process" offers a novel approach to address these challenges. This blog aims to help practitioners improve their skills by implementing the outcomes of this research or encouraging further exploration.

Conclusion
