The San Diego Regional Center and partners are pleased to announce the Healthy Lives-Safe Communities Cross Systems Learning Collaborative for Criminal Justice, Developmental Disabilities and Behavioral Health Professionals. This training series will build a shared knowledge base and common language among all the agencies and professionals who might touch the lives of individuals who have a combination of intellectual, developmental and mental health needs and also have histories of significant high risk behaviors, and will provide a forum for ongoing interaction, collaboration and systemic problem-solving.

The Healthy Lives-Safe Communities Learning Collaborative is designed for a diverse audience and each session in the series will offer foundational knowledge in the topic area, introduce related evidence-based best practices and focus on collaborative and systemic solutions.

The series kicks off in the fall of 2015 and will continue throughout 2016, culminating in a one-day conference in early 2017. See Calendar inside for more information and how to register.
