Effective Services for ALL: Strategies to Promote Mental Health and Thriving
for Underserved Children and Families

Thank you to all the presenters, participants, and attendees at the 2007 conference. The conference was a great success!
Highlights from attendees:
-
One of the best conferences I've been to in quite a while. Thanks!
-
The youth panel was outstanding and [so was] the cultural information from the panel and individual sessions.
-
Variety of current, pertinent information and research. Created a great atmosphere connecting youth, families and other professionals.
-
It is hard for me to believe that I have never heard of this conference and work and it has been going on for 19 years! Then I realized the work is heavy on West Coast families and providers, etc… We really need this kind of work on the East Coast[…]
-
Very well organized, fantastic plenaries, a variety of sessions, great location, diversity.
-
Extremely thoughtful and passionate discussion [by the youth panel plenary] of their personal experiences and how they can inform the lives of youth, families, and professionals.
