Learning Communities
Join our interactive conversation series on COVID-19: Managing Now for a BETTER Tomorrow.
The TA Network operates multiple Learning Communities that are available to any and all participants on various topics. The Learning Communities were assembled with the most pressing needs of the children's behavioral health field in mind, and are facilitated by a diverse group of content experts. Opportunities for peer examples and interactions are also provided in addition to robust resources and tools.
See below for information about, and to register for, an upcoming webinar. For more information about each of our Learning Communities, click here.

It provides a forum to discuss and learn together about important and emerging trends to create better outcomes during the transition into adulthood. The Learning Community convenes all stakeholders in partnership with young adults, learning together as we interact regularly.
Youth with Co-Occurring Substance Use & Mental Health Disorders ▾
This Learning Community shares information about providing services to youth with co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders and to their families. Youth living with co-occurring disorders are at much greater risks for suicide, violence, school failure, juvenile justice involvement, and a host of other chronic problems. Increasing recognition of, and skills for working with youth with, co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders is a significant public health and safety concern.
Participants in this Learning Community will develop professional skill sets via virtual training opportunities, connect as a community to share and gather new resources, and unite with other youth advocates and professional peers from across the country.
