ADVISORY BOARD COMMITTEE RECRUITMENT
Currently we are working with a new, federally funded initiative at Lines for Life; it is a Culturally Responsive Latinx Mental Health Training Program
where we are focusing on training communities who serve Latine identified populations. As part of our dedication to providing culturally appropriate trainings and resources, Lines for Life is gearing up to organize a statewide Advisory Committee to serve as
advisors who can provide input to assure our implementation is aligned with Latine community needs.
We will be holding a commitment-free informational meeting to go over more information about this grant and what our vision is for this committee.
If this sounds like something you would like to be a part of, please join Jennifer Camarena virtually
on 10/30/2023 at 10:00am Zoom
