Abstract

Author(s):

This study examines serious behavioral disorders in children and adolescents through a triadic lens, incorporating perspectives from professionals, parents, and young individuals. Utilizing qualitative and quantitative methodologies, we gathered data through surveys, interviews, and focus groups to understand the perceptions, experiences, and challenges faced by each group. The findings reveal significant disparities in the recognition, management, and support available for serious behavioral disorders. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of collaborative approaches in treatment and intervention strategies, advocating for an integrated framework that fosters communication among stakeholders. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding serious behavioral disorders and offers actionable recommendations for enhancing support systems for affected children and their families.
