The Commission on Women, Children, Seniors, Equity and Opportunity (CWCSEO) and the Office of the Child Advcate will be conducting a community conversation featuring the firsthand accounts and lived experiences of children and their families experiencing situational and long-term needs for mental health treatment. We will also hear from the families and community providers about their journeys and learn more about the barriers they face when finding healing and long-term success. Legislative and executive branch leaders are invited to attend the webinar, while key leaders will be invited to a listening panel in preparation for a second responsive convening designed to discuss solutions.
