Peer Groups

The CDMCF TTA Center runs four peer groups that provide information sharing on COVID-related topics: Public Health Peer Group (for CDMCF ELC award recipients), Adult Prisons Peer Group, Jails Peer Group, and Juvenile Facilities Peer Group.

The peer groups:

• Cover relevant topics, such as the impact of the end to the federal COVID-19 Public Health Emergency.
• Identify challenges with program execution and mitigation strategies.
• Discuss challenges with ongoing mitigation strategies.
• Help facilitate and foster networking opportunities.

The groups meet quarterly. If you are interested in joining the next peer group meeting, please send an email to [email protected] and note which group you would like to join.
