Scalable Approaches to Address Mental Health Barriers to Employment: Part 2

This webinar will begin with an overview of how workforce boards partner with employment and training centers throughout the United States to provide programs tailored for specific groups (e.g., unemployed youth, justice-involved, dislocated workers). The presentation will include a description of strategies currently used to address mental health concerns, as well as identified areas of unmet need. Next, presenters will describe an innovative, task-shifting approach that equips front-line staff in employment and training settings to address mental health concerns as part of the Connections to Care program delivered to over 40,000 clients in 15 community based organizations in New York City.
