Description
In collaboration with the Maine PCA, the School-Based Health Alliance is offering a training for health centers addressing partnering with schools to deliver high quality care for Maine’s children and adolescents. School-based health care is a powerful investment in the health and academic potential of children and adolescents. School-based health care delivers convenient, accessible, and wide-ranging primary and mental health care services to students where they already spend most of their time: in school.
In this training, participants will learn about the SBHC model, establishing relationships with the education system, determining the health care and health-related educational needs of students in their communities, and begin developing a plan for bringing health care to schools. Participants will explore a range of options--from bringing individual health care services to schools, such as oral health care-- to operating a comprehensive SBHC.
This training will take place at the University of Southern Maine – Portland Campus - 88 Bedford Street (Abromson Center, Rooms 109/110)
