Thought Leader Forum: Sustaining Our Community of Practice Approach

As the IDEA Partnership approaches its last year of funding, the CoP meeting will have a specific purpose: 

• To ascertain the interest in the CoP strategy. • To determine if we will reconstitute to preserve the

convening role around school behavioral health in states and across states.

• To design how this will happen and who will take leadership roles.

• To plan with existing centers and services to integrate this approach into their work.

Thought Leader Forum: Sponsorship

Sponsorship in the meeting will differ from the past meetings:

• We will partially fund participation as we are able with the remaining funds. • We ask that only state teams and organizations with a

serious commitment to the CoP strategy seek funding support from the IDEA Partnership

• We can provide registration and a $300 reimbursement of expenses, with receipts for:

• two individuals from each state team• one representative from each practice group.• one representative from each national organization
