| Consultation Cadre: Colleagues Helping Colleagues |
The Consultation Cadre provides a network of individuals with expertise who provide responses to requests for information from colleagues. The Cadre was established to enable the process of
colleagues helping colleagues. It functions in two ways:
Over 275 professionals have volunteered to network with others to share what they
know. Cadre members have indicated expertise related to major system concerns, a variety of
program and processing issues, and almost every type of psychosocial problem. They work in
urban and rural areas across the country.
Who's on board? Some run programs (for example, one directs the Safe and Drug-Free Schools
program for a state education agency). Many work directly with kids in a variety of settings and
on a wide range of problems. Others are ready to share their expertise on policy, funding, and
system changes (for example, one professor is enmeshed in developing a model for a statewide,
school-based mental health system; another is involved with school restructuring).Cadre members are not screened. It's not our role to endorse anyone.
We think it's wonderful that so many professionals want to help their
colleagues, and our role is
to provide a way for you all to connect with each other. Using our website
you can SEARCH our Consultation Cadre by topic
for a list of members who are willing to assist you.
