incarceration because of a mental health disorder which may have been complicated by substance abuse; an adolescent who is experiencing
emotional and behavioral symptoms of a major mental illness such as Schizophrenia which typically strikes at a very early age; a child who is at
risk of placement in state custody because of abuse, neglect or incompetent parenting or is already in state custody.
