Clips from our Summer Learning Institute June 2019

In June 2019, over 280 mental health and school mental health leaders from across the Pacific Southwest region gathered in Sacramento, CA, for the inaugural Pacific Southwest MHTTC Summer Learning Institute. Leading faculty offered full-day courses tailored to meet the needs of the region’s workforce. This video highlights three sessions whose combined outcomes supported shared skill building: Emotionally Intelligent & Trauma-informed Leadership in the Mental Health and School Mental Health Workforce.
