Our annual Circle of Support Luncheon has a long history of bringing together people with a shared commitment to the health and well-being of our community, raising essential funds for our program services, and aiming to reduce stigma around behavioral health topics through education and conversation.
This year’s event will honor that history but in a modified format and topic relevant to our current public health situation. We invite all to join our complimentary virtual event on Friday, April 24, 2020.
We are delighted that nationally-recognized child and adolescent psychiatrist Dr. Jess Shatkin, author of Born to Be Wild: Why Teens Take Risks, and How We Can Help Keep Them Safe, will be our speaker this year. He will share advice for families, teachers, and the community about what a pandemic and isolation may mean developmentally and psychologically for children and adolescents, what to look for as worrisome symptoms, and how to foster resilience and mental health during this time. Dr. Shatkin will then focus his remarks on adolescent mental health and evidence-based strategies for helping our youth both now and beyond our current crisis. Dr. Shatkin will answer your questions after his remarks.
Our virtual event will be available on YouTube at noon PT on Friday, April 24, 2020. Please register for the event here and invite your friends! A link to join the virtual event will be sent on Wednesday, April 22. Replay will also be available after the event to those who register but are unable to join at noon.
