The California Alliance of Child and Family Services is hosting a series of community forums to spark dialogue among community-based organizations, policymakers and government administrators around school-based mental health, highlighting meaningful and impactful strategies that are grounded in evidence. This year’s forum, STRENGTH IN PARTNERSHIP, will examine successful partnerships for the delivery of school based mental health services. The forums will focus on lifting up practices and outcomes of local public-private school-based partnerships, articulate specific tactics in leveraging braided funding for Medi-Cal eligible students, and share cross-sector approaches that integrate trauma-informed practices. We invite you to participate and collaborate with us in these ongoing opportunities to center the needs of our communities as the drivers of political reform.
