States across the U.S. are advancing training initiatives for the children’s mental health workforce. How are these efforts making progress and tracking impact? A scoping review by researchers at McSilver + other institutions illuminates facilitators and barriers associated with training roll-outs.

NEW RESEARCH: In the journal Children and Youth Services Review, find the article “A scoping review of state-sponsored mental health training programs for children and youth to support use of evidence-based treatements” by Rebecca Lengnick-Hall, Kimberly E. Hoagwood, Andrew F. Cleek, Meaghan Baier, Ashley Fuss, Elena Conte, Charlotte Gendler, and Sarah Horwitz. The first page of the article and the cover of the journal are collaged on a deep green backdrop. A hyperlink to read the article at ScienceDirect is included: bit.ly/state-mh-training

COMING UP 9/9: We’re convening a morning panel of trailblazing NYC candidates and experts in civic engagement to dig into ranked choice voting — from its impact on recent primaries to how campaigns can adapt going forward. RSVP to attend: bit.ly/rcv2025

On Tuesday, September 9, Common Cause/NY, the NYU McSilver Institute, the NYU Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, Citizens Union, and the CUNY Graduate Center will host a timely panel discussion on Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) and its impact on campaigning in New York City. Speakers include: • Brad Lander, NYC Comptroller & former Mayoral candidate • Scott Stringer, former NYC Comptroller & Mayoral candidate • Vanessa Aronson, former City Council candidate • Andrea Gordillo, former City Council candidate Dr. Basil Smikle Jr., Professor of Practice and Director of the MS program in nonprofit management at Columbia University’s SPS, will moderate. Additionally, the program will open with remarks from: • Susan Lerner, Executive Director, Common Cause/NY and Chair, Rank the Vote NYC • Rose Pierre-Louis, Executive Director, NYU McSilver Institute for Poverty Policy and Research and Board Member, Rank the Vote NYC • Grace Rauh, Executive Director, Citizens Union • Steven Romalewski, Director, CUNY Mapping Service, Center for Urban Research at the CUNY Graduate Center Why It Matters In June, over 1 million New Yorkers ranked their choices for Mayor, City Council, and Borough President — only the second time RCV was used in a Mayoral election. RCV allows voters to rank up to five candidates in order of preference. Studies show it reduces negative campaigning, prevents the “spoiler effect,” and encourages coalition building. This year’s election results confirm its success: • 96% of voters said the ballot was simple to complete. • 81% understood RCV extremely or very well. • More than 75% want to keep or expand RCV in future elections. Event Details Please join us at 105 East 17th Street near Union Square in Manhattan for a panel discussion exploring how RCV transforms NYC elections. Attendance is free with registration. Photo ID is required to access the venue. Doors open at 8:00 AM, and the program will begin promptly at 8:30 AM. Light refreshments will be served.
