The 2010 CMHS National GAINS Center Conference
Every two years, the National GAINS Center organizes a conference for mental health and criminal justice professionals, policymakers, consumers, family members, administrators, and researchers. The 2010 CMHS National GAINS Center Conference is scheduled for March 17-19, 2010 in Orlando, FL. While the conference focuses primarily on adult criminal justice/mental health topics, the National Center for Mental Health and Juvenile Justice (NCMHJJ) is partnering with the National GAINS Center to coordinate two separate youth tracks specifically focused on juvenile justice and mental health: A general juvenile justice track ; and a Models for Change track. The Models for Change track will includes presentations stemming from the MacArthur Foundation’s Models for Change Initiative and Mental Health/Juvenile Justice Action Network. These presentations will highlight strategies and advances in better addressing the mental health needs of justice involved youth.
The GAINS Conference is an opportunity to learn about the mental health and juvenile justice innovations underway in other states.
