Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe and the Department of Mental Health are conducting a workshop on October 31, 2007 to address funding opportunities that are available to community public social service providers through the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA). The workshop will also serve as a forum to address the MHSA’s progress in Los Angeles County and future funding opportunities.
The workshop will address the following topics: a brief overview of the MHSA including how much funding is available, how local funding priorities will be determined, helpful hints to submitting a successful proposal, and the benefits of forming a collaboration with other service providers present. The workshop also includes an introduction of key players who are available to help you, an opportunity to have each key player respond to any questions you may have, a chance to meet potential partners in an informal environment.
The workshop will take place on Wednesday, October 31, 2007 from 9:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at The Grand in Long Beach. The Grand is located at 4101 East Willow Street in Long Beach.
