Dear Colleagues,
The Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD) invites you to participate in the Mental Health Workforce Education and Training (WET) Program community forums. These community forums will engage stakeholders to provide feedback on the next Mental Health WET Five-Year Plan. The Mental Health WET Five-Year-Plan provides a framework on how to improve and develop mental health workforce education and training programs at the County, Regional, and State Levels.
OSHPD seeks feedback on:
Target audience includes, but is not limited to: mental health providers, educators, consumer and family members, individuals from multi-cultural communities, county mental health directors/administrators, county mental health contractors, and workforce development leaders and staff. Community forums are not limited to members of the counties the meetings will take place in. We invite members of surrounding counties to also attend and provide us feedback.
Below are dates, locations and times of the 14 community forums. Please RSVP to OSHPD.MHSAWET@oshpd.ca.gov or (916) 326-3635 indicating your name, organization, and community forum you will be attending.

All, this is to inform you the Los Angeles County Five Year Comprehensive HIV Plan has been posted on the DHSP website: http://www.publichealth.lacounty.gov/aids/index.htm.
The Plan can also be found on the Commission’s website (document follows the 3/7/13 Joint Commission/PPC Meeting packet): http://www.hivcommission-la.info/cms1_192014.pdf
from one of the HIV MHTF members:
I wanted to pass this info along due to the fact that much of our discussion in the Task Force meetings is on Healthcare Reform. This is a free online course through Coursera and the University of PA entitled, “Health Policy and the Affordable Care Act.” Of course, much of what we talk about in the meetings is regarding specifics to LA County and this course is an overview of the national policy, however, I thought it may still be of interest. The course starts on March 25th, so it’s kind of last minute – but I just found out about it yesterday. Again, it’s free to register. I’m taking another Coursera-based course right now and it’s a pretty great resource, in general.
