The Women’s Integrated Systems for Health (WISH) project is a training grant funded by HRSA and the Maternal and Child Health Bureau. It is a partnership among the NC Institute for Public Health, the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health, MCH Dept., and the UNC Center for Maternal and Infant Health.
The project focuses on promoting integrative community approaches to optimizing mental and physical health among adolescents and women of reproductive age. The webinar series is the first component of a multi-faceted project to build leadership capacity among public health, mental health, substance abuse, violence prevention and primary care in order to develop more holistic and integrated systems of care women.
