Celebrating Our Learnings & Co-Creating Next Year's CoP Learning Agenda – May 24, 2023

May 24, 2023

This meeting celebrated our Community of Practice learnings. Next year’s success begins with our reflection on what worked and didn’t work this school year! Together, we examined the value of the DC CoP in supporting implementation of school behavioral health (SBH) practices in schools. Your participation and engagement was very important to informing next year’s activities. The DC CoP is led by community members, for community members. We invited the CoP to shape - and inspire - our collective learning about how to increase student access to quality mental health and wellness services within and across DC schools.

The meeting objectives:
  1. Celebrate our DC Community of Practice learnings to inspire next steps.
