Creating Communities that Foster Mental Health for All
Co-sponsored with the National Catholic Educational Association, this conference brought together mental health professionals and advocates to discuss meaningful ways our community can better serve persons with disabilities. During the keynote presentation by Mark Bradford from Word on Fire, and multiple breakout sessions, families and individuals with disabilities learned practical ways to identify and utilize support systems within the local community to help them overcome mental health struggles.
