Family Education and Support

The WNYCCP was chosen to participate in a state-wide initiative to provide training to agencies interested in providing a family psychoeducation and support service, one of the identified evidence-based practices. The network and training structure developed to support the introduction of person-centered planning is being used to support this initiative.

In addition, the NYS Office of Mental Health (OMH)identified a model which would allow them to use the resources traditionally needed to train 4 agencies or affiliated providers to instead train all interested providers in 6 counties. While still in the early stages of implementation, there are 17 agencies participating across the 6 counties.
