Public health has been variously defined; however, all definitions recognize it as the art and science of dealing with the protection and improvement of community health by organized community efforts. As such, it includes prevention, screening, and treatment, as well as environmental and social interventions. We propose that a public health approach should be taken on behalf of child mental health. Although public health is often conceptualized as focusing on physical health, we take the holistic position that ‘‘there is no health without mental health.’’A public health approach is appropriate because the strengths and problems of children and adolescents are based upon interactions between their internal genetic/biological predispositions, as well as their family, community, school, and societal environments.
