For this discussion, you will answer based on your chosen at-risk population from Discussions #1 and #2. (My at risk population is those with serious mental health disorders)
In the previous discussion, SMART goals and nursing interventions were identified for your population. Now, discuss collaborations and partnerships that the nurse will seek for assisting the client/population over the long term.

- State the number of persons/populations that are served and how the organization/agency is funded.
- List specific examples of how the nurse can collaborate with the agency/organization
