The SLMT will also work closely with the Youth and Family Training Institute Advisory Board, the Community of Practice on School-Based Behavioral Health, and the Mental Health Planning Council to ensure coordination across all initiatives.
Our goal is to assure that the SLMT reflects the diversity of Pennsylvania. We are seeking members of different ages, gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic background and geographic location among other qualifications. It is important that we select members who represent the diversity of Pennsylvania as well as those who have a significant and extensive understanding of the behavioral health system, the educational system, the child welfare, drug and alcohol, and/or juvenile justice system.
