На основе эпидемиологического исследования за период 2000–2012 годов выявлены высокие показатели общей и первичной заболеваемости детского и подросткового населен...я в Российской Федерации и по всем федеральным округам. Установлено увеличение числа инвалидов среди детей и подростков при снижении коечных мест и тенденции сокращения числа детских и подростковых психиатров в психиатрических службах субъектов. Сложившаяся ситуация требует дальнейшего пересмотра подходов к оказанию психиатрической помощи несовершеннолетним лицам. Необходимо избежать сокращения объемов психиатрических ресурсов. Однако комплекс организационных мероприятий немыслим без адекватного финансового обеспечения территориальных программ оказания психиатрической помощи, в том числе на основании выполнения Программы государственных гарантий
бесплатного оказания гражданам медицинской помощи и выделения субсидий на диспансеризацию,

“All sectors of humanitarian response are critical to providing an adequate and holistic response for children who have survived different types of violence, exploitation, abuse and neglect. Following the immediate humanitarian response, all humanitarian sectors have an important contribution to m...ake to the effective rehabilitation and reintegration of child survivors. ‘Mainstreaming’ child protection, or ensuring that child protection considerations inform all aspects of humanitarian action, helps to maximize the child protection impacts of the work that all humanitarians do. ”
How to Use This briefing paper: This briefing paper is a quick reference for Plan International Child Protection in Emergencies (CPiE) staff on how to engage with other sectors operating in the emergency to ensure that child protection principles and considerations inform all aspects of humanitarian programming in other sectors. While there is child protection mainstreaming guidance for how to work with specific sectors (e.g. WASH, nutrition, distribution) this “All Sectors” briefing note can give CPiE staff the big picture of shared child protection mainstreaming messages that should be conveyed to all sectors. This briefing is aligned with the Minimum Standards for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action and the Sphere Standards, as well as Plan International staff feedback on what actions are the most vital for child protection mainstreaming in other sectors.
