***EMERGING ISSUE***
Federal Block Grants for Education:
Impact on Addressing Barriers to Learning????
There appears to be growing bipartisan support for consolidating federal
education programs into performance-based block grants. The clear goals are to
reduce categorical funding, increase flexibility in use of federal dollars,
reduce
redundancy, and increase accountability for results. What hasn't been clearly
discussed is: Will block grants enhance efforts to address barriers to
learning or
will they further marginalize such efforts?
Do you have a perspective on this? If so, let us know, so we can include it
in our
efforts to have this aspect of the issue become part of the discussion.

***NEWS FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY***
>>Office for Faith-Based Programs<<
President Bush has established a White House office to assist faith-based
organizations seeking federal funds to deal with social problems like
addiction and homelessness. He has also called for a Center for Faith-Based and
Community Initiatives in the Department of Health and Human Services and
Department of Education. The Centers will review departmental policies and
practices concerning compliance with Charitable Choice as it applies to funds
under their control and to promote compliance by its partners in state and
local
governments. The Center in the Department of Education will focus on the
agency's social programs, such as after-school programs.

COMMENTS:
We received a great deal of feedback on the working draft of:
"Mental Health in Schools: Guidelines, Models, Resources, &
Policy Considerations"
If you haven't looked at the working draft this field-defining document,
please do
so (it is on our website at http://smhp.psych.ucla.edu) And if you have
time, send
us feedback.
Here's a sample of what we have been receiving:
"...important to emphasize the need for infrastructures for integrating
services..."
"...very useful for providing concise information to a broad audience
(legislators,
Board of Education, Principals, parents, etc.)"
"...need to add underlying factors contributing to complexity of successful
collaboration, such as organizational cultures..."
"...consider adding a section that addresses the need for demonstration of
outcomes..."
"...the document contains a wealth of wonderful references and resources..."
"...the importance of program evaluation and quality of implementation
should be
stressed more."
"...As a follow up piece a self assessment document for school districts
would be
extremely helpful to move the "infrastructure" forward. "

THIS IS THE END OF THIS ISSUE OF ENEWS
Below is a brief description of our Center.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
WHO ARE WE?
Under the auspices of the School Mental Health Project in the
Department of Psychology at UCLA, we established a Center
for Mental Health in Schools in 1995. The Project and Center
are co-directed by Howard Adelman and Linda Taylor. The UCLA
Center is one of two national centers initially funded in October 1995
by the Office of Adolescent Health, Maternal and Child Health
Bureau (Title V, Social Security Act), Health Resources and Services
Administration (Project #U93 MC 00175). Both Centers were
refunded in October 2000 (for a 5 year cycle) with the Substance
Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's Center for Mental
Health Services joining HRSA as a co-funder.
Our group at UCLA approaches mental health and psychosocial
concerns from the broad perspective of addressing barriers
to learning and promoting healthy development. Specific
attention is given policies and strategies that can counter fragmentation
and enhance collaboration between school and community programs.
We are involved in model development and implementation,
training and technical assistance, and policy analysis. Our
activities include gathering and disseminating information,
materials development, direct assistance, and facilitating
networking and exchanges of ideas.
