Subject: Seeking feedback about University-Community partnerships for SMH



Hi everyone,



I am reaching out to you to see if you have had experience working in a university-community partnership for school mental health and if so, if you would be willing to spend 30 minutes sharing insights from that experience with me. 



I am working in Paul Flaspohler's lab at Miami University with two fellow graduate students (Amy Kerr and Jack Baker) to author a chapter about university-community partnerships for school mental health. We are wanting to include information in the chapter that comes from stories of individual's real-world experience working within these partnerships. Specifically, we are interested in hearing from individuals involved in partnerships from the community organization or school perspectives as we have had a harder time speaking with individuals about these partnerships outside of academia. If you have partners who have worked from the school/community perspective, please feel free to forward this invitation to them!



If you have worked in a university-community partnership for school mental health as a school or community stakeholder, we would like to invite you to have a brief discussion (30 minutes) with myself, Jack, or Amy about the lessons you learned, benefits, and challenges to that partnership. We will be taking lessons we learn from these discussions and including them in the findings and narratives we present within the chapter. We will be crediting anyone that we talk with about these experiences in the acknowledgement section of the chapter and ensure the information we pull from the conversation fits your intention before sending the chapter to the editors.



If you are interested in contributing to this work and having a discussion about your experience in a university-community partnership with us, please reach out to Amy Kerr ([log in to unmask]). We are hoping to hold these conversations through mid-October. 



We greatly appreciate your consideration in sharing your story with us! All findings will help contribute to lessons learned about university-community partnerships, hopefully helping to shape strong partnerships for those pursuing them in the future.



Thank you for your consideration!
