The Journal of Child & Adolescent Mental Health publishes papers that contribute to improving the mental health of children and adolescents, especially those in Africa. 

Papers from all disciplines are welcome. It covers subjects such as epidemiology, mental health prevention and promotion, psychotherapy, pharmacotherapy, policy and risk behaviour.

The journal contains review articles, original research (including brief reports), clinical papers in a ‘Clinical perspectives' section and book reviews.

 
The Journal is published in association with the South African Association for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Allied Professions (SAACAPAP). The SAACAPAP is the professional body for child and adolescent mental health practitioners in South Africa. It was initiated in 1978, and since then has been an active member of the International Association for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Allied Professions (IACAPAP).
