For the few past years, CLASP has provided technical assistance to states and localities working on improving maternal mental health care and mental health care for transition age youth. In our Policies Advancing Transformation and Healing (PATH) initiative we worked with Utah and Prince George's County, Maryland to improve access to mental health care for transition age youth. In our Moving on Maternal Depression (MOMD) initiative we worked with New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania to improve access to maternal mental health care.As the technical assistance project ends, CLASP is hosting two webinars, one offering an overview of lessons learned from the project and the other highlighting innovative financing opportunities. BREAKING MENTAL HEALTH BARRIERS: ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND LESSONS FROM THE FIELD Tuesday, October 13th2-3p EDT/12-1p MDTOver the past few years, CLASP has partnered with state/local agencies to address systems and policy change in youth, young adult, and maternal mental health.
