This webinar is part 2 of a 2-webinar Learning Community hosted by the Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law and National Disability Rights Network (NDRN) that addresses SAMHSA's priorities of crisis stabilization and mobile crisis. The learning community will focus on leveraging federal funding & policy to increase best practice community-based services that are voluntary, evidence-based, and trauma-informed.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
1. Understand the disproportionate negative impacts of traditional crisis response systems on over reliance on the police to respond to crises involving communities and people with disabilities, including people with serious mental illness (SMI) or emotional disturbance (SED), and how solutions must be responsive to these disparities.
2. Learn how peer-led, community-based services and supports improve wellness, support communities, and protect civil rights, drawing from real-world examples of programs that have been successfully implemented.
3. Examine current trends in state and federal policy, including challenges and opportunities to advance peer-led, community-based services for people with SMI or SED.
This is a SAMHSA-Sponsored webinar. Live closed captioning and ASL interpreters will be available for this webinar.
