Hello everyone! Recently SCT has started a nonprofit branch called SCT’s Community Access and Support Initiative (CASI). Our mission is to remove barriers to mental healthcare for children and families in rural communities by providing direct assistance, access to specialized services, and community base resources that promotes stability, dignity, and well-being.

SCT‘s CASI is bringing a free in person training series to Cortez in Fall 2026. This training will be led by Dr. Robert Jason Grant, who’s the founder of AutPlay!!

Here’s a flyer, giving more details about the upcoming training. However, we need your input! If you’re interested in attending, please complete this survey that will give us feedback to plan the training accordingly to your needs!
