Abstract
The goals of this session are indicated as follows: 1) to provide an overview of Children’s Law Center’s partnership with Children’s National Medical Center’s Division of Psychiatry and the ways in which the collaboration has better equipped Children’s Law Center staff to advocate around children’s mental health issues; 2) to illustrate the reciprocal benefits that attorneys obtain from having child and adolescent psychiatrist consultations as they prepare for court hearings and other engagements to advance clients’ interests; 3) to illustrate how attorneys’ advocacy is expanded with the clinical knowledge provided by child and adolescent psychiatrists through case consultations, in-house didactics, and resource manuals created by child and adolescent psychiatrists; and 4) to describe how this medico-legal collaboration can be replicated by other legal services organizations and child and adolescent psychiatrists.
