1. Intervention: To increase access to high quality mental health services for underserved children and families by providing services in schools and community settings.

2. Prevention: To develop, implement, evaluate, and disseminate mental health prevention and early intervention programs that are guided by the best principles of science.

3. Consultation: To build the mental health capacity of partner organizations through staff consultation, training, and professional development activities.

4. Training: To provide training and supervision to aspiring trainees, clinicians, and researchers in the field of community mental health

5. Advocacy: To inform child mental health policy by generating knowledge about and advocating for the mental health needs facing children, families, and communities.
