Parent Listening Session Opportunity
The Behavioral Health Workforce Center, in partnership with the Simulation and Integrative Learning (SAIL) Institute at the University of Illinois College of Medicine, is inviting parents and primary caregivers of children with behavioral health conditions to join a small group conversation. We want to learn about your experiences in receiving services and what you believe behavioral health students should better understand when working with children and families.
This listening session will help improve how behavioral health students are trained. It is not a research study, just a chance to share your perspective and help inform the development of a training pilot for behavioral health students.
