Message from Tanya McGee, Project Coordinator for the LITS Initiative
Hello and
welcome to the website for the Louisiana Integrated Treatment Services (LITS)
Initiative! The LITS Initiative is a collaborative effort between mental health
and substance abuse treatment providers from across the state and is focused on
the improvement of treatment services to those persons who suffer from
co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders. This website is
designed to give providers, like you, valuable information regarding this very
important initiative, update you on upcoming LITS meetings, conferences, and
training events, and provide additional support to you through
national links
and resources in the area of co-occurring treatment.
For those of you currently
involved in the LITS Initiative, we encourage you to review the activities
within the various state and local level working committees in the hope this
will enhance your own local integration efforts. For those of you who are not
aware of LITS, we invite you to familiarize yourself with
LITS goals and
activities and encourage you to get involved with integration efforts in your
local community by contacting LITS participants in your area.
Thank-you for
visiting the LITS site and please come back in order to stay updated on
integration efforts and LITS events.
