Leaders in education, community-based primary healthcare and those with lived experience of mental illness have been meeting since September 2020 to discuss effective collaboration between schools and healthcare centers or community mental/behavioral health centers to address childhood trauma as the HEART Collective. Out of the HEART Collective discussions came the need for a community of practice to explore how best practices in this process look in the real world, while supporting the educators, healthcare workers, and mental health professionals involved in these multi-sector collaborations.
