FYI from NASN

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) in January, announcing $50 million in new state grants to help connect millions more children to essential school health services, including much-needed mental healthcare.

This is a partner dissemination toolkit to help promote an upcoming Feb. 15th webinar on the new grants. Sample social posts, newsletter text, and graphics can be found here. We appreciate your help getting the word out to your networks!
