Child & Adolescent Center of Excellence
For the second year in a row, the Ohio Children’s Alliance has been selected by the Center for Innovative Practices – Child & Adolescent Behavioral Health Center of Excellence at Case Western Reserve University to host a Health Information Technology Learning Community. This free, bi-monthly, virtual webinar series focuses on sharing knowledge, building skills, and highlighting best practices in using health IT to improve care, quality, and efficiency.
Sessions will highlight real-world examples, emerging best practices, and actionable strategies that agencies can apply across child- and family-serving systems in Ohio. Each session will include time for discussion and participant questions.
We encourage you to mark your calendar and plan to join us for this collaborative learning opportunity focused on strengthening Ohio’s behavioral health systems.

As a subgrantee of Case Western Reserve University, we are supporting Ohio’s statewide initiative to assess, improve, and expand service and care coordination capacity for children with complex behavioral health needs and their families.
The Ohio Children’s Alliance supports the initiative through a variety of projects including:
-
Funding opportunities to support best practice expansion—provide various grant opportunities. Past opportunities have included costs associated with obtaining a telehealth credential, costs associated with attending the Middle Management Academy, costs associated with starting a Youth Peer Support program.
-
Learning communities—establish and facilitate space for learning about best practices for interested providers.
Explore real stories from families, youth, and providers that show the powerful impact of respite and behavioral health supports.
