Children's Behavioral Health Committee

Interactive Map

The ACMHAI Children's Behavioral Health Committee (CBHC) launched a new interactive map to access and view information about evidence based best practices for children's behavioral health in Illinois.

For more information about the map, click here.

The CBHC would like your help to promote the map as well as capture

additional evidence-based practices across Illinois that are not currently listed. We ask that you please distribute the Interactive Map flyer to your networks.

A brief google form has been created to easily submit information about additional providers/services not currently listed. Those with additional information may also contact ACMHAI State Coordinator, Jodi Dart at jdart@acmhai.org with any updates or corrections to the map.

Effective Storytelling: Getting Your Message Across in a Noisy World

Stories are the backbone of how we communicate. In-person or digital, professional or personal, 1-on-1 or to a large group, stories connect us and drive messages home to our audience. In this session we will discuss what makes for an effective story, how to surface and manage stories (and the related data!), and what channels are most effective right now for sharing stories on. As funders, telling the story of our impact and partners is critical for awareness, but can be challenging. What story are we trying to tell? We will answer that and related questions during the session.
