MACMH Training Services Reaches Educators Across Minnesota
MACMH Training Services (MTS) is off to a great start. This newly created division of MACMH offers timely and relevant trainings to parents, educators, and other professionals who work with children and adolescents who have mental health disorders. These fee-forservice trainings are offered on a variety of mental health issues.
Since its inception in January 2005, MACMH Training Services staff have provided trainings throughout the state on the important subject of “Recognizing Early-Onset Mental Health Disorders: Key Warning Signs and Next Steps for Educators.” Designed specifically to meet the requirements for teachers who are renewing their continuing license, MACMH hosted several regional sessions; these were held in Monticello, Eagan, Rochester, and Marshall, Minn. Several school districts have also scheduled district-wide trainings as well as trainings for staff in specific schools within their districts. Through these trainings, more than 1,000 school personnel have received valuable information about the continuum of mental health, key warning signs of mental health disorders, the educational implications of such disorders, and the next steps educators can take to address these issues.
MACMH has also had great success collaborating with Metro ECSU to provide a training session in the metro area. This training, held on April 26th in Golden Valley, was well attended and greatly appreciated by many metro-area educators. Another partner MACMH has worked with to make this content available to educators throughout the state is Through the Box, Inc., a specialist in offering on-line courses in professional development. The on-line course, which takes about 2 hours to complete, works especially well for those people whose schedules don’t permit them to travel to various workshop sites. Both collaborative efforts have been proved beneficial for everyone involved.
