  Abstract
This article discusses the influence of family structure on children’s use of mental health services and explores whether a family’s dependency on government assistance compensates for the effect of family income on children’s use of services. Children in nontraditional families are at greater risk of using mental health services and have more mental health visits. Family participation in government subsidies programs offsets the influence of family income on the use of mental health services.
