Through collaboration and commitment to excellence, SMI TTAC enhanced mental health providers’ and organizations’ capacity to deliver impactful, recovery-oriented care for people living with SMI.
During its operation, SMI TTAC hosted several public webinars and application-only Learning Collaboratives on a variety of topics. See the recordings below, grouped by intended audience.
