These programs are intended to provide active treatment in a structured therapeutic environment for children and youth with significant functional impairments resulting from an identified mental health diagnosis, substance use diagnosis, sexual abuse disorders, and/or mental health diagnosis with co-occurring disorder. ... The residential treatment facility is expected to work actively with the family and other agencies to offer strengths-based, culturally competent, trauma-informed, medically appropriate treatment designed to meet the individual needs of the residents."

"Pursuant to your request of September, 1948, to undertake an investigation of the conditions in the mental hospitals of the State of Kansas and recommend corrective procedures, your Committee has met on four occasions. In the short period of time allotted for this task, it has been possible to visit and s tudy in detail only one of the state mental institutions. The Committee, however, has been fortunate in having at its disposal the Report and Recommendations of the Kansas Legislative Council on the Physical Properties of the Charitable and Penal Institutions of the State, dated December 14, 1946, as well as the Survey of Psychiatric Facilities in Kansas*. Part II, The Mental Institutions, prepared for the Kansas Legislative Council by Dr. Samuel W. Hamilton, dated November, 1946. Both of these excellent and penetrating studies have been of inestimable value to the Committee. Mr. Erland Carlsson, institutional director of the State Department of Social Welfare, Dr. F.H. Guild, director of the Research Department of the Kansas Legislative Council, and the professional staff of the Winter Veterans Hospital, Topeka, Kansas, all have been of great help in enabling the Committee to formulate a more integrated picture of the variety of problems presented by the state mental institutions"--[Letter of transmittal]
