Free Advertising

MPN purchases a help wanted ad in the Charlotte Observer on the third Sunday of every month. The ad directs readers to the MPN website, where members can list job openings at no cost. On average, the site gets nearly 300 visitors each week; that number doubles during the week following the Observer ad. The web site also includes pages for members to list consumers seeking employment and residential program vacancies.

Member agencies gain increased visibility through MPN's brochure, exhibits at Professional Conferences and advertisements in publications such as the NC Council's annual directory of services.

Monthly Meetings

Administrators from member organizations meet to discuss topics of interest and hear from LME Representative, State and local officials, and other well known leaders in the field of Mental Health.

The MPN Training Collaborative also meets monthly to share information and receive updates on staff training requirements and resources. They also organize free staff training sessions on topics such as Person Centered Planning, Supervision and Annual Reviews and Customer Relations. Member agencies can use the Training Calendar on the MPN website to share their in-house training.

MPN also sponsors regular meetings for their Human Resources staff and has contracted with The Employers Association to conduct an industry specific Wage and Benefits Survey.

Group Discount

MPN Members receive a large discount on purchases of office supplies and promotional items from Office Depot.
