[Community assistance programme for children and adolescents with severe mental illness]. / Programa de atención comunitaria a niños/as y adolescentes con trastornos mentales severos: una construcción que articula la experiencia clínica, la investigación académica y su transferencia al sistema sanitario.

The purpose of the following paper is to present an experience which links the production of knowledge resulting from academic research, with the transmission of said knowledge to the health system -with specific reference to mental health- by means of the implementation of the Community Assistance Programme for Children and/or Adolescents within the City of Buenos Aires. This programme is aimed at children and adolescents afflicted with severe psychological suffering, who consult the Mental Health Services in the public subsector of the City of Buenos Aires. It is the product of clinical institutional experience and of diverse investigations in health systems and services which showed a significant increase in the amount of consultations of children with severe and or complex mental health problems and which brought to light the lack of adequate sanitary response for these children by said sector. Based on the analysis and evaluation of the difficulties and obstacles in the functioning of the system a scheme was devised and implemented which aimed -from its beginning- to favour the possibilities of subjective constitution and integration into the community of these children and adolescents with severe mental deficiencies. By means of an interdisciplinary work consisting in the permanent training of human resources and the setup of intra and intersectional networks, it aims at facilitating accessibility and improving equality of opportunity, thus attempting to guarantee the right to a full protection of the health of children and adolescents.

El siguiente trabajo tiene como propósito dar a conocer una experiencia de articulación entre la producción de conocimientos -resultado de la investigación académica- y la transferencia de los mismos al sistema de salud -en particular salud mental- mediante la implementación del Programa de Atención Comunitaria de Niños/as y Adolescentes en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires. Dicho Programa está destinado a niños/as y adolescentes que padecen sufrimiento psíquico severo y consultan a los Servicios de Salud Mental del subsector público de la Ciudad y ha sido el producto de la experiencia clínica institucional y de diversas investigaciones en sistemas y servicios de salud. A partir del análisis y evaluación de las dificultades y obstáculos en el funcionamiento del sistema, se diseñó e implementó un dispositivo que se propuso -desde su concepción- favorecer las posibilidades de constitución subjetiva y la integración en la comunidad de los niños, niñas y adolescentes con trastornos mentales severos. A través de un trabajo interdisciplinario, de capacitación permanente de recursos humanos y de configuración de redes intra e intersectoriales, pretende facilitar la accesibilidad y mejorar la equidad, intentando garantizar el derecho a la protección integral de la salud a los niños/as y adolescentes.
