Sept. 29: NAMI CA Town Hall with the California Alliance of California Alliance of Child and Family Services (CACFS)
NAMI California Town Hall meeting with The California Alliance of Child and Family Services (Alliance), a public policy, advocacy and training organization with nearly 150 nonprofit community-based organizations that provide a broad array of services to children, youth and families throughout California. In addition to providing traditional behavioral health services, Alliance members are providing family resources centers, in-home wraparound services, school based mental health programming, and mobile crisis intervention services in many communities. The Alliance’s Catalyst Center (www.catalyst-center.org) also serves as training and technical assistance arm, and is developing a database of mental health and social services available throughout California. Finally, the Catalyst Center offers a provider HelpLine (1-833-99Youth) that assists organizations and professionals to identify needed resources in their community.
The focus of their presentation will be about work they are doing to support children, youth, and families, including school-based mental health, suicide prevention, and foster youth with mental health needs; their Catalyst Center and ACES aware grants; and their partnership with the State Department of Social Services for a provider helpline to help with COVID-19-related issues.
Joining us will be their Executive Director, Chris Stoner-Mertz, and their Senior Policy Director, Adrienne Shilton.
