Administration/Center for Mental Health Services; is again sponsoring
this exciting and well-received monthly series of topical calls.  The
conference calls cover important and emerging trends in the mental
health field.  Presentations from expert resource persons are followed
by open discussion in order for all participants to ask questions and
enrich the conversation.  We hope you will share this educational
opportunity with others so that they may participate as well.

Our next calls will be part of a Technical Assistance Call Series on the
Elimination of Disparities in Mental Health Care.  This series of three
technical assistance calls will deepen the knowledge and understanding
of the root causes of disparities in mental health care and strategies
that can be applied to address these disparities at the systemic,
organizational and practice levels. 

 

The calls will focus on the following:

*         Disparities in availability, accessibility, affordability,
appropriateness, and acceptability of mental health services

*         Social determinants of health and mental health status and the
relationship to disparities

*         Implementation strategies and lessons from other child serving
systems, states, communities and organizations

*         The role of cultural and linguistic competence in addressing
disparities

This month's call, "Elimination of Disparities in Mental Health Care: An
Overview" will be held on Thursday, October 15th from 1-2:30pm ET.
