We partnered with the California Department of Education (CDE) for a Town Hall Meeting on Friday, August 13, 2021 to discuss how we can work together to support the needs of youth as we transition back to the classroom. Our speaker: Monica Neponuceno of the CDE.

Among the topics discussed: CDE’s mission and current work; the importance of and strategies for supporting the mental health needs of youth; how families and loved ones can support youth going back to school during the pandemic; and ways to advocate and get involved in policy changes for youth mental health. Also: our NAMI on Campus High School program.
