Interprofessional Education and Training...

At risk children and youth and their families are frequently served by a variety of health, educational, and social service agencies with little or no coordination occurring between them. The same condition is also true of university training programs as they tend to train their professionals within particular departments and in isolation from other professions.

In order to improve family-centered, integrated services at the local level, the major component of this project was designed to assist colleges and universities as well as professionals already in the field to develop models of interprofessional training and to increase the knowledge and skills that will assist them to effect locally integrated services.

The results of this effort will be a workforce of trained professionals that will be able to reach across the many disciplines in the areas of education, social work, and medicine in order to assist the families of children and youth at risk.

A second component is the dissemination of the materials generated through this grant. The newsletter, Service Bridges, and publications such as an annotated bibliography as well as other reports are available. As other resources are developed, they will be made accessible.
