The Erie County Department of Mental Health (ECDMH) is delighted to host a monthly training series for anyone working in the system of care addressing mental health, substance use and intellectual/developmental disabilities.
The ECDMH collaborates with representatives from the mental health, substance use and intellectual/developmental disability provider communities to identify opportunities to support agencies, staff and support the retention of staff who deliver vital services.
Mark your calendar for 2025! Trainings will usually take place the 4th Tuesday of each month from 12PM to 1PM. All sessions will take place in an online forum.
This is a true community collaborative and we are always looking for presenters to volunteer to share their expertise with our community!
