Council for Coordination and Collaboration

Background

The Council for Coordination and Collaboration was created in 1999 as a “team” of the program partners involved with the Children’s Services Program.  This team addresses efficient ways of communicating with each other to develop a strategic vision of the complex elements of the Children’s Services Program. The goal of the Council is to help the Center for Mental Health Services funded systems-of-care communities envision and implement comprehensive systems of care for children and their families, through, a team process of collaboration which puts the communities at the center of a coordinated approach to technical assistance and support.

The Council includes representatives from:

• Technical Assistance Partnership for Child and Family Mental Health (American Institutes for Research/Federation of Families for Children’s Mental Health)

• National Technical Assistance Center for Children’s Mental Health (Georgetown University Center for Child and Human Development)

• National Indian Child Welfare Association

• National Evaluation Team for the Comprehensive Community Mental Health Services Program for Children and Their Families (ORC Macro)

• Caring for Every Child’s Mental Health Campaign (National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors/Vanguard Communications/Federation of Families for Children’s Mental Health)

• Research and Training Center on Family Support and Children’s Mental Health (Portland State University)

• Research and Training for Children’s Mental Health (University of South Florida)
