The Illinois Childrens Healthcare Foundation is announcing a major investment in five Illinois communities in launching the first round of its Childrens Mental Health Initiative (CMHI). See the attached press release. The CMHI is a multi-year, multi-million dollar initiative to support the development of a diverse range of community-specific, system of care models to transform and improve the way that mental health services are provided to children and youth in their community.

 

The CMHI communities will be working to implement evidence-based practices that are sustainable, and that promote the full potential of every child and youth. ILCHF will also support all five of the communities in working together, with our consultants, as a learning community to share how they are improving collaboration among their community stakeholders, and integrating primary care and mental health services and support for children and their families.
