Department of Mental Health Team 2011-2012 Recap:

The Department of Mental Health team served on a larger team of mental health professionals working throughout the District to implement Primary Project, an evidence-based, early intervention and prevention program designed to reduce social, emotional, and school adjustment difficulties in children kindergarten through third grade. Learning from direct service providers in the field, this team first focused their efforts on learning about child-centered play. After honing their skills and traversing the difficulties of finding the young people most in need, this team had the opportunity to provide services through the child development center at Martha’s Table in Ward 1. Additionally, the team planned a book drive to benefit the many locations served by Primary Project. The team learned the importance of early intervention and tailored care, as well as the usefulness of established, evidence-based, funded programming. The team also witnessed firsthand the importance of collaborative partnerships between government and nonprofit entities in delivering effective health-related services.
