Capacity Building Center

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) has developed and implemented a Capacity Building Center (CBC). The Capacity Building Center is a new centralized training resource designed to expand trainings, supports, and resources for Prepaid Inpatient Health Plan (PIHP), Community Mental Health Services Program (CMHSP), and Michigan Children’s Services Administration (CSA) staff in a variety of areas related to the behavioral health needs of children, youth, young adults and their families. In the future, training may also be expanded to other child-serving systems. All trainings and materials will be aligned with MDHHS Family-Driven Youth-Guided Policy and Practice Guidelines.

The CBC offers live in person trainings, live-virtual trainings, & on-demand trainings (learning you can access anytime, any place, anywhere, any pace).

The CBC is an online resource for behavioral health network provider staff to acquire information, resources, and trainings related to Children’s Behavioral Health Services. It will provide staff with centralized evidence-based and evidence-informed behavioral health trainings on specific topics. Trainings will be accessible through multiple settings and specific to children, youth, young adults, and their families. 

The CBC will provide trainings hosted by in-house MDHHS professional staff and contracted state and national content experts and provide materials that are aligned, equitable, and easily accessible statewide with multiple opportunities for learning. Options for learning include live in-person, virtual, and on-demand sessions (content accessible online at any time once it is made available).
