Children typically enter the mental health system through teachers, counselors, or parents referring them for assessment and treatment. Pediatricians may also be involved, but they often rely on other adults to recognize and report mental health concerns. It is uncommon for children to enter the mental health system through the criminal justice system or because of the actions of peers.
