SEPTEMBER 2022
Happy September!

The leaves are changing, classrooms are refilling, and the nights are getting shorter — it's finally (almost) fall. We're excited for all this month has to bring... the return of pumpkin-themed coffees, cooler temperatures and of course our steady collection of monthly trainings and conferences. We hope to see you at one — whether it's in-person or online!

Best wishes,

The Team at the Mid-America MHTTC

NEWS & UPDATES
Mid-America MHTTC School Mental Health Provider Learning Community returns for 2022-23 school year

The Mid-America MHTTC School Mental Health Provider Learning Community is back in session!

This program is designed for community-based mental health providers providing services in schools and school-based mental health providers such as school psychologists, school counselors, school social workers, and board-certified behavior analysts. Participants will meet bi-monthly for virtual learning sessions focused on technical assistance, coaching, and network building.  

This regional peer learning community is focused on comprehensive service delivery in the school-based setting and will guide providers integrate into school settings and address school mental health from a multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) framework.

Sessions run every other month beginning in October, and an introductory 30-minute call will take place Sept. 16. To learn more about the learning community and apply, click the link below.
