ABOUT THE PROJECT
What Is the MSPP INTERFACE Referral Service?
The MSPP INTERFACE Referral Service is an initiative to improve the integration of mental health and wellness services within school systems and their greater community. The primary goal of the MSPP INTERFACE Referral Service is to enhance, improve, or develop collaborative efforts between school-based mental health and wellness services and community mental health and wellness systems and services.
The model of the MSPP INTERFACE Referral Service aims above all to help break down the “silos” that exist within community agencies or systems that can often hinder access to mental health and wellness services. By enhancing communication between schools and agencies, the MSPP INTERFACE Referral Service allows each organization to work more effectively on behalf of the students it serves.
The information on the web site is drawn from a variety of sources and publications in the area of family mental health and wellness. The articles, resources and providers are “vetted” and reviewed by the advisory and editorial board below before being added to the web site or database.
