Hi Jamie welcome to the learning collaborative and we are so excited to have you onboard! I think you bring up an excellent question and it would be great if you could also ask it during the Q&A part of our in-person session because I am sure that others in the cohort may have some great responses or advice. One of my former colleagues is from Bangor and worked for many years in health centers there, so it is great to have someone from Maine in the cohort. One idea that does come to mind, which you may have already done, it fully assessing all of the training programs offered in your area including students who are doing online/distance learning and then reaching out to those schools. Especially in mental health, you may be surprised by how many students are doing their degrees online from schools across the nation and all schools who may be looking for more community partnerships to give their students training opportunities.
