Outreach & Systems Change Subcommittee

Revised Project description:  

Create an action plan to begin the process of creating a more responsive, multi-disciplinary, multi-lingual, and multi-cultural infant-family and early childhood mental health system which seeks to reduce stigma associated with seeking mental health and family strengthening support.  In all phases of system development, actively seeks out and incorporates feedback from children and caregivers.

Goal

Create multi-generational family fun, trauma responsive, stress reducing, resilience building activities held in places that families go. Design these activities to be multi-lingual and multi-lingual and multi-cultural.  Design these activities in partnership with children and families.

Longer Term Goal:  

Facilitate professional partnerships that work together on systems change/responsive services (practitioner gatherings, etc)

Suggested Next Step:  

Each pilot site design and activity and implement it by the end of June 2016 (using framework as described above)
