Welcome to LENDlinks

LENDlinks: A Title V Training Consortium For Creating Distance Learning Modules On Bright Futures in Practice: Mental Health Issues in Infants and Children (birth-age 6). The seven MCHB LEND programs in Regions V and VIII will serve as distance learning sites in the LENDlinks consortium to provide: “A Leadership Connection for Communication, Collaboration and Continuing Education”.

One of the greatest needs for continuing education exists at the community level in rural, underserved areas. LENDlinks will help to bridge that knowledge gap by developing and disseminating videoconferences and distance learning modules targeted for state Title V personnel and related agencies in HHS Regions V and VIII to improve systems of care for CSHCN with mental health problems.

Project Funding:
LENDlinks is funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration, Maternal and Child Health Bureau.
