Developing Community Partnerships

Whether you work on campus or in a community organization, it is increasingly challenging to meet the mental health and wellness needs of students on your own.

Developing partnerships with other organizations in your community can help as you each have unique skills, resources and/or approaches that would benefit others. However, partnerships like any relationship takes time and effort.

Join CICMH and CMHA for this webinar where Sharon Brodovsky provides some tools and tips on how to seek out, build and maintain effective partnerships as well as avoid some of the pitfalls. This webinar will also showcase some of the new campus/community partnerships that are happening through CICMH’s campus/community project and how CICMH can support your organization get involved.
