"Data Trends" reports present summaries of research on mental health services for children and adolescents and their families. The article summarized in this "Data Trends" reports a qualitative investigation of the networking experiences of teachers, parents, human service professionals, and faith-based organizations involved in services for at-risk youth. Effective partnerships among communities, mental health services, and school are essential if services are to be more responsive to the needs of children and families, particularly those living in high-risk environments. It is evident from these data that communities face complex challenges as parents, schools, service providers, and representatives from faith-based organizations negotiate the barriers to improving the quality of life of children living in high-risk environments. In the article, the authors conclude that the enriched understanding of the concerns of different stakeholders gained through this participatory research increases the opportunities to build on successful networking strategies, and thus better meet the needs of these families.
