Engaging Families and Youth in Fiscal Solutions

The Family and Youth Involvement Workbook will help boards involved in policymaking, governance, and financing of health, human service, education and related systems to embrace family and consumer involvement.

The Workbook begins with a self-assessment to help boards identify which portions of the Workbook will be most helpful.  It includes nine sections on specific topics related to involvement, with succinct, practical information and tips and tools.

Are you interested in building capacity to engage families and youth in governance and financing conversations? Contact Natalie Portman-Marsh at Spark Policy Institute: 303-455-1740, ext. 106, Natalie@sparkpolicy.com.

Prepared by the Spark Policy Institute, on behalf of Colorado LINKS for Mental Health, funded by the Colorado Health Foundation.
