May is Mental Health Month. Mental health is key for everyone! The Mental Health Technology Transfer Center assembled a compilation of products and resources geared towards mental health awareness, literacy, and promotion.
The Massachusetts Psychosis Network for Early Treatment (MAPNET) and the New England Mental Health Technology Transfer Center (MHTTC) will host a virtual monthly “Early Psychosis Prescriber Consultation Series” led by Dr. Matcheri Keshavan on prescribing practices for early psychosis,
including a review of a selected monthly topic. Our May topic is “Long-Acting Injectable Antipsychotics (LAIs)."
Attendees are invited to bring de-identified case questions to discuss with the group. Cases do not have to relate to the monthly topic, but should be focused on prescribing issues in early psychosis care. Attendance will be limited to 20 participants and will be on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Join us to learn about person-centered, family-driven partnerships to support the recovery journey for individuals with mental health and/or substance use challenges and their families—the focus of a new, free, online course module Partnering with Families in Behavioral Health, developed by the National Family Support Technical Assistance Center and the Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation at Boston University. The course's focus is to present an approach that teaches the behavioral health workforce how to partner with families.
The 6 lessons present strategies to put evidence-based partnership principles into action using the “FAMILY” approach: Facing Personal and Professional Attitudes; Acknowledging Family Identities and Expertise; Making Meaningful Partnerships; Identifying Solutions to Conflict; “Letting Go” to Support; and Yielding to Outside Resources.
The presentation will provide opportunities for participants to engage in reflection exercises, as well as opportunities to ask questions of the course developers, so that they can increase their understanding of the strategies involved in family partnerships.
