WSCC has created a project called the “Community of Practice” (COP) and with this project we hope to accomplish two goals:
1. Broaden the knowledge and strengthen the skills of those community members who participated in the Leadership Academy for Families and the follow up Coach Approach Project with national consultant, Ellen B Kagen.
2. Create a space to train more community members, parents, and family leaders in the skills and concepts learned through the Leadership Academy and Coach Approach. In doing this, we will create a broader “Community of Practice” of family leaders with the skills and knowledge to continue bringing family voice through adaptive leadership skills to the many councils and decision-making groups around our state. We will also be creating a shared language within the Children’s Behavioral Health Community, sustaining the incredible work done through the Leadership Academy and Coach Approach Projects, and training new family leaders to continue the work for years to come.
