The Children’s Mental Health Collaborative (CMHC), is collecting and sharing resources, training ideas, & supports for children and youth in anticipation of potential re-traumatization and increased mental health needs during Derek Chauvin’s trial for the murder of George Floyd.

Our friends at the PCLG, know that parents and families are juggling a lot these days, and they want to help. They have created a new monthly workshop series called “Let’s Talk About It” where parents and caregivers can check in for a short topic on navigating children’s mental health.

The Children’s Mental Health Collaborative (CMHC) is excited to announce our 2021 monthly e-newsletter schedule. We will be sending out our monthly e-newsletter on the last week of each month. If you have information, news, or updates you would like to included in CMHC’s monthly e-newsletter…

On behalf of Hennepin County Children’s Mental Health Collaborative’s staff and leadership, we would like to wish you a warm and happy welcome to the new year! 2020 presented us with challenges that we all know families and communities will feel the impacts of well into 2021.

At the last CMHC Governance Committee, Cindy Slowiak & Audrey Flack of Hennepin County Human Services-Behavioral Health presented an update on the work their area is both planning and doing related to system of care (SoC) implementation. Thank you to those that attended and are interested/engaging in this work!

In February 2020, Hennepin County Human Services sponsored a two-day event to introduce our community to systems of care. It had been their hope that this event would be the catalyst for continued work in building our local children’s mental health system of care. Unfortunately, COVID-19 hit a couple of weeks later, and our collective attention got diverted in other directions.

We’re very excited to send our first update from our new Mailchimp account! This will make communicating with you all much easier. If you found this email in your junk mailbox, please make sure you mark it not spam as this is how we’ll be communicating updates moving forward. Please see below for the updates we have.
