They discussed the importance of collaborating with and creating spaces for different disciplines at FJ/MA Centers in order to provide intensive case management that serves clients with an array of needs. They reviewed how to connect and collaborate with different agencies to seek training in providing services and learn from each other, focusing on partnering with culturally specific organizations, legal organizations, and mental health organizations.
