This section will provide brief descriptions of programs and practices (i.e. instruments, assessments, etc.) that have been recommended to the EMHD Initiative by the External Workgroup, CMHS Internal Workgroup or EMHD Partners. These programs and practices are being highlighted because they show promise in reducing disparities and/or indicate cultural competent practices that promote a reduction in disparities.
If you would like to have a promising program or practice added to the list, please contact Ms. Guileine Kraft at NAMBHA or call NAMBHA at (301) 946-0027 or toll-free (888) 862-6242.
The African Heritage Learning Community (AHLC) is organized to support the provision of culturally and linguistically competent (CLC) services including evidence based and best practices, along with the opportunity for networking and peer support. The overarching goal is to reduce disparities and contribute to improving outcomes for children, youth, and families within Systems of Care. The AHLC was established through the Technical Assistance Partnership for Child and Family Mental Health (TAP) to provide support and networking for systems of care communities.
