Partnering with Legal Aid Providers to Improve Behavioral and Mental Health – Webinar Series
Part 2: Exploring the Community Advocacy Program, a Medical-Legal Partnership between The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland and MetroHealth
February 26, 2025 – 3 PM ET
On February 26, 2025, at 3 PM ET, the National Center for Medical-Legal Partnership (NCMLP) will present Part 2 of its webinar series, “Partnering with Legal Aid Providers to Improve Behavioral and Mental Health.” This concluding session shifts the focus from adults to children and adolescents, exploring how a Medical-Legal Partnership (MLP) approach can enhance pediatric behavioral and mental health care.
Attendees will gain new insights into how unmet social and legal needs shape the behavioral and mental health outcomes of low-income child and adolescent patient populations. The discussion will highlight the Community Advocacy Program, an innovative MLP between The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland and MetroHealth. Participants will learn how this integrated approach improves patient care, equips medical providers with essential knowledge about health-related legal needs, and works together to advance both individual and systemic efforts—ultimately driving better health and well-being for children and adolescents.
Our Guest Speaker:
– Jessica Baaklini, Esq., Senior Attorney, The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland, MetroHealth Department of Pediatrics and Obstetrics
