Taking the MAZE Out of Funding
Goal The goal of this training is to improve access to care and access to other resources for children, youth, young adults and their families.
Objectives Maze trainings inform families and professionals about a wide range of potential funding sources using a training manual developed by Minnesota Children & Youth with Special Health Needs (MCYSHN) staff. Content covered in the training is geared towards children, youth and young adults, including, but not limited to, those with special health needs. “Family Stories” are used to illustrate potential situations faced by families when trying to access care and other resources. The objectives for the Maze training are to:
Compare and contrast the major public and private funding programs including information on eligibility
Increase awareness of what services and programs are available to individuals and families
Utilize “Tools” to identify appropriate funding resources
Learn strategies that will help families and providers obtain the services that are needed
Audience Parents of children and youth and professionals who work with families are potential audience members. Professionals include: mental health providers, public health nurses, school nurses, social workers, educators, advocates, clinical staff in health care settings, child care providers, financial workers, etc.
Cost No charge for participants Participants are encouraged to bring a (3) ring binder to hold the training manual which is distributed at the training.
Length Sessions may very from 1 hour to 3 ½ hours. Shorter training updates are available for those who have attended previously.
