New Look Journal

DateMonday, June 2, 2014 at 12:07PM

 

The first 2014 edition of the CHW School-Link newsletter, in a journal format and with a new name, is now available here.

The Journal of Mental Health for Children and Adolescents with Intellectual and Developmental Disability: An Educational Resource aims to improve the mental health of children and adolescents with intellectual and developmental disability through enabling academic debate, research and commentary on the field. 

This journal is a modification of the previous newsletter; a vehicle of expertise about mental health information of children and adolescents with intellectual and developmental disability.

The journal remains a collaborative effort with a multi-agency editorial group from the CHW School-Link, Statewide Behaviour Intervention team of the Department of Aging Disability and Home Care, NSW Family and Community Services, and NSW Department of Education and Communities.

Changes:    

  • Information on upcoming conferences and training workshops will now be posted and updated on the website here
  • We will be sending you a monthly reminder to check out what’s new on our website with the link to access the latest issue of the journal.
  • We are in the process of setting up an archive of past articles on the website to make it easier for readers to search for specific topics, titles, authors or themes.
