A Tale of Two Consortia

APS Virtual Learning Community Live, Online
In this session, you will have the opportunity to learn about the Regional Planning Consortium (RPC), a network of 11 regional boards who work closely with state agencies to guide behavioral health policy, problem solve service delivery challenges, and recommend priorities for the reinvestment of Medicaid savings. Peers are playing an important role in these regional boards, and your voice can contribute to these initiatives. You will also learn about the New York City Peer and Community Health Workforce Consortium (NYC.PCHWC), an initiative of ThriveNYC to improve mental health services in New York City by expanding the use of peers and community health workers to connect New Yorkers to services and promote recovery.
Join us on Wednesday, June 20, as our panel of RPC Coordinators, Emily Hotchkiss, Margaret Varga, Maryam Zoma, Alexis Harrington, Peter Griffiths, and the NYC Peer and Community Health Workforce Consortium Director, Lori Tannenbaum and Coordinator Aviva Cohen, share innovative work they’ve been doing toward including, expanding, and improving peer support services as well as opportunities for you to get involved.
Register through Eventbrite.
Connection information will be provided when you register.
