The Future Of School-Based Services: The Focus Of The 2021 OPEN MINDS Children's Services Executive Summit
Thursday, December 10, 2020
GETTYSBURG, Pa., Dec. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- OPEN MINDS has announced that The Children's Summit: The Future of School-Based Health Services will be held on February 10, 2021, immediately prior to the annual 2021 OPEN MINDS Performance Management Institute.
Addressing mental health needs of children while they are in school is something that our industry has been actively debating and discussing for the past 50 years. Everyone agrees that students need to be able to learn at school and that mental health needs can interfere with this primary task. School staff report that their ability to manage children with mental health issues in classrooms is a constant challenge. This year, our Children's Summit will focus on the future of school-based health services. Provider organizations serving children with complex support needs and youth in underserved communities are developing innovative programs and models of care that integrate behavioral health support services with educational needs. However, these young people can often end up in a no-win situation in which either treatment or education is put first to the detriment of the other.
At this one day-special event, we will hear from various education and mental health thought leaders about solutions that have been put in place in their districts. Executives will discuss the opportunities and ongoing challenges facing the children's services market. Panelists will also discuss innovations in school-based service delivery, the intersection between education and health care funding, and evolving payment models that could systemically address these challenges in the future.
Sessions and panelists include:
-- Whose Money Is It Anyway? The Intersection Of Education & Health Care
