Session 4 of 4 in the "Rising Practices & Policies Revisited" 2023 Learning Series (view series page for full details)
At this moment, we are experiencing a huge rise in need for mental health services in our communities and schools and, at the same time, experiencing a large attrition rate of providers.
Join us for a discussion with pre-service and in-service mental health and school mental health leaders to discuss how to address the supply and demand gap: challenges, rising practices and policies, and questions to pursue with our colleagues and stakeholders.
