TA Conference Call on State Strategic Financing Plans

Below is an email from SAMHSA announcing a conference call to gain technical assistance in developing and adapting financing plans for adolescent substance abuse services:

Dear Colleague:

We invite you to sign up and participate in the continuation of our 2007 national topical telephone conference call series. The National Technical Assistance Center for Children's Mental Health is sponsoring this exciting and well-received monthly series of topical calls. The conference calls cover important and emerging trends in the mental health field. Presentations from expert resource persons are followed by open discussion in order for all participants to ask questions and enrich the conversation. We hope you will share this educational opportunity with others so that they may participate as well.

Please visit our website for registration information and the full 2007 Calendar of Calls. The next call in this series will be Thursday, June 21, at 1:00 p.m., ET on “How States are Developing Strategic Financing Plans”. PowerPoint presentations and reading materials for each call will be posted on the website and can be viewed while listening to the calls.

All information about the national conference call series can be found on our website, including announcements, registration forms, handouts, and evaluation forms. There is no registration fee for these calls. The only cost that you will incur will be the long-distance phone charges. You should register for each call at our website so that we know how many lines to set up and how to structure the call to meet your needs. If you have any trouble accessing our website, please call or e-mail MelKisha Knight at (202) 687-5000 so that we can arrange to mail or fax you the information.

Should you have any questions about the telephone conference series, please contact Marisa Irvine, Conference Call Coordinator by e-mail at marisairvine13@hotmail.com

We hope that you and other individuals in your state, tribe, territory, and community will find these calls useful. We look forward to your participation and feedback.
