OSYM COLLABORATIVE

WHAT: A community collaborative to coordinate and provide resources information and education to our community on mental health issues through outreach and quarterly conferences. To develope trained peer facilitated supervised support groups for our youth ranging from ages 13 up to 25. Why: This age group is the typical time where serious mental health issues unfold. At this time, there is a great need for both public and private mental health and behavioral health service delivery providers to work together with our academic, criminal justice system to best serve these youth, their familis and educators. Therefore NAMI Kern County, a grassroots volunteer organization will provide the proven leader ship and enthusiasm to bring all interested and commited stakedholders to see this project be successfull.
