As part of our technical assistance, CIBHS provides webinars to
assist county child welfare and mental/behavioral health
departments, focusing our work on components of the framework and
models as outlined in the Core Practice Model (CPM).
We welcome you to our eLearning course, entitled Foundations of
Behavioral Health: Partnering to Serve the Mental Health Needs of
