The Mental Health Consortium offers 14+ collegial work groups/circles that meet virtually monthly, including, elementary counselor circle, school psychologist collaborative clinical discussion group, BCBA circle, School Avoidance Team, crisis team roundtable exercises and more. These groups are offered to school district staff for NO COST. These groups are moderated by experts in their fields. The district MHC membership covers the cost of these groups.
The MHC schedule includes monthly workshops, updates, presentations, and trainings. These sessions, often available virtually, connect participating districts with experts and cover diverse topics such as mental and behavioral health, clinical updates, new research, and NYSED information dissemination. Additionally, annual training initiatives are offered in a cohort format, enabling district teams to receive training on evidence-based programs. Notably, Nassau BOCES is proud to be a CASEL Fellows Partner.
