NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — This month's Northern Berkshire Community Coalition forum will focus on mental health services for children.
It will be held Friday, Nov. 13, from 10 to noon at First Baptist Church. The monthly forums are a vehicle to address current issues.
The first half of the forum will be devoted to introductions and announcements; the second hour will be a discussion about the new children's behavioral health initiative being implemented throughout Massachusetts as the result of court-ordered action (Rosie D. case).
The forum will look at how this court action will improve access to children's mental health care and provide equity for children served by publicly funded health insurance. There will be a chance to ask questions of the experts on how these new mental health services will change outcomes in our region.
For more information about coalition forums and the planned discussion for November, contact Al Bashevkin at the NBCC office, 413-663-7588.
