ReCAST Committee Meeting

June 12, 2017 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm

Chicago was selected as one of five cities in the nation to receive funding from Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Mental Health Services to initiate ReCAST.
Overview of ReCAST

The purpose of the Resiliency in Communities After Stress and Trauma (ReCAST) Program is to promote resilience, support and health in communities that have recently faced civil unrest through implementation of trauma-informed violence prevention and community engagement programs. The overall goal of this program is for communities to work together in ways that lead to improved behavioral health, empowered community residents, and reductions in trauma with sustained community change.

Your Voice Matters

We are holding a series of planning meetings to discuss the work of ReCAST and community involvement. As a member of the committee you will play an active role in helping to develop a strategic plan and assist in identifying community needs, resources, and activities that will be supported through ReCAST. Additionally, members will participate in engaging and involving other community members in the process. Join us for our first committee meeting!
