MANSFIELD — Third Street Family Health Services has announced the return of its education event for social services providers on Oct. 12.
Sidelined by COVID-19 pandemic precautions, this once-quarterly event has not been held for about two years. Wednesday, the clinic’s Medication-Assisted Treatment Continuous Improvement Committee will again reach out to educate the local community.
The committee will host public services agencies from the tri-county area. Guests will include members from all areas of public services, criminal justice, mental health, domestic violence, and children’s services.
The goal of the lunch and learn-style program is to provide a relaxed atmosphere to educate about mental healthcare-related challenges and to open lines of communication about them.
Several mental healthcare professionals will present information that is new in treatment fields and will help service agencies deepen their understanding of the community’s needs.
