BARNARD CENTER FREE LECTURE SERIES

This presentation and reflective conversation seek to create a space for open dialogue about the mental health workforce crisis and the contributing factors. Together we will explore relational possibilities to addressing contributors to the crisis while also improving engagement and service outcomes for children and families. A systemic pivot is long overdue that moves the broader conversation, administration, and service provision in conjunction with and beyond funding.
