Article Synopsis
- Limited understanding of mental health services for youth with physical disabilities in rehabilitation settings prompted a study to identify needs and challenges.
- A qualitative approach involved 22 interviews with youth, families, and clinicians from five rehabilitation centers, leading to three key themes: resources, clinician capacity, and partnerships.
- Findings highlight barriers like lack of mental health knowledge and access during transitions, suggesting that improved training, staffing, and external collaboration can enhance service delivery.

Methods: Youth (aged 15-24) followed for a physical disability that had mental health problems were identified.
