The Florida Department
of Children and Families, TANF Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Office, has contracted with the Florida State University, Academic & Professional Program Services,
Mental Health and Substance Abuse Integrated
Training Center, to provide information and training materials
related to mental health and substance abuse. Materials and training
placed on this website have two purposes.
- To provide information
for the general public on a variety of topics covering mental
health and substance abuse, and
- To provide training
and best practice information for certain contracted providers
of supports and services who serve TANF participants and/or
family members who may be at risk for mental health or substance
abuse conditions or who currently have mental health or substance
abuse conditions.
Currently, the Training
Center is developing training and informational materials on the
following topics:
As the materials are
developed, they can be used by people wanting more information
on certain topics. Identified staff who serve TANF participants
will need to review certain training modules to ensure they are
familiar with required materials such as the Overview of Mental
Health, Overview of Substance Abuse, the Overview of Supported
Employment and Strengths-Based Approach. Certain TANF staff
will be required to take a short quiz at the end of each required
training module to demonstrate their understanding of the topic
content.
A complete description
of each training module will be located on this website as it
is developed.
