Hi everyone.
I thought some might be interested in this Webinar sponsored by the Federal Intra-agency Rural Behavioral Health Workgroup in collaboration with the National Center for Mental Health Promotion and Youth Violence Prevention, the National Technical Assistance Center for Children's Mental Health at Georgetown University as well as the Technical Assistance Partnership.
David Hill, APA Committee on Rural Health
Webinar Announcement:
Creating State-Community Partnerships for Social-Emotional Well-being in Rural America: November 1, 2007 from 12-1:30pm C.T.
States and rural communities use a variety of strategies to support the social and emotional well-being of all children and to support comprehensive services and supports for those children with behavioral health challenges and their families. This Webinar will help participants become familiar with several key federal grant programs to improve children's mental and behavioral health including: CMHS Systems of Care, Safe Schools/Healthy Students, Circles of Care, National Child Traumatic Stress, Statewide Family Networks, and Suicide Prevention. Presenters will discuss the benefits of not only building strong partnerships between state-level and community partners, but also enhancing linkages across federal grantee programs for community mental/behavioral health. The Webinar will also provide opportunities for participants to explore current efforts and how challenges can be addressed to build a strong and effective voice for rural individuals in their communities and states.
