Primary Audience for Series:
School-based mental health professionals (school social workers, school counselors, school psychologists)
Community-based mental health providers (counselors, social workers, clinical directors)
Education leaders (state, district, county school administrators)
The second session in the learning series dove further into the role of school leadership and collaboration with community stakeholders across service systems (e.g., child welfare, mental and behavioral healthcare, religious and spiritual supports) to disrupt systems inequity and reduce bureaucratic hurdles for the students and families in our care.
Outcomes:
