October 19th, 2:00-3:30 p.m.
Join us for an interview with two of California's innovative leaders around collaborative efforts to support children's mental health and well-being. They will discuss strategies that districts can employ to meet the needs of California's students, particularly those who are over-identified for special education and who are receiving disproportionate disciplinary actions, as well as those in poverty and who have experienced trauma.
