Two Complementary Initiatives to Broaden the Infrastructure for Enhancing Policy
|
|
 |
 |
|
| |
|
This is a broad-based, policy-oriented
coalition of organizations who have a stake in addressing
barriers to development, learning, and teaching, as well as
concern for promoting healthy development. The Coalition's aim is
to stimulate
strategic efforts to foster policy integration and close policy
gaps as ways to deal with the marginalization and fragmentation
that dominates a great deal of prevailing practice.
|
To expand, link, and build the capacity of the pool of persons
who provide policy leadership for MH in schools at national,
state, regional, and local levels. Such leadership includes a policy
focus on promoting social-emotional development and preventing
psychosocial and MH problems, as well as policies related to
treatment of mental illness. |
|
WHO PARTICIPATES? | |
|
Representatives of any organization whose work in some way
includes a focus on addressing barriers and promoting healthy
development.
|
Any individual willing to play a leadership role in (a)
keeping up-to-date with respect to policy for MH in schools and
(b) helping to inform, mobilize, support, and enhance the capability
of others.
