This book includes both the interRAI Self-Reported Quality of Life - Child and Youth Mental Health (QOL-ChYMH) and the interRAI Family Quality of Life - Child and Youth Mental Health (FamQOL). The interRAI Self-Reported Quality of Life - Child and Youth Mental Health (QOL-ChYMH) is a self-report survey that assesses the perception of life satisfaction and well-being of children and youth (ages 7 to 18 years) before and after receiving mental health services.
The QOL-ChYMH helps to promote child and youth engagement as well as provide opportunities for children and youth to personally impact service delivery. Hearing directly from young clients can give service providers valuable information regarding areas that are specifically impacting client progress, thus allowing opportunities to respond to needs and ultimately help improve treatment outcomes.
