Coalition for Cohesive Policy in Addressing Barriers to Development & Learning
|
|
| |
|
This is a broad-based, policy-oriented
coalition of organizations who have a stake in addressing
barriers to development, learning, and teaching, as well as
concern for promoting healthy development. The Coalition's aim is
to stimulate
strategic efforts to foster policy integration and close policy
gaps as ways to deal with the marginalization and fragmentation
that dominates a great deal of prevailing practice.

- In the Fall of 2003, SAMHSA began reshaping its efforts in order to pursue an action agenda related to the recommendations of the President's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health. In the Winter (2003-2004), the members of the Coalition for Cohesive Policy in Addressing Barriers to Development and Learning agreed to join with the Policy Leadership Cadre for Mental Health in Schools in taking on tasks aimed at moving policy for mental health in schools forward by helping influence SAMHSA's planning.
