Open the Door #3 – A Mental Health Series Designed to Transform the System

January 9 2026 @ 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm

Parents are fighting for their children’s lives within a mental health system steeped in stigma. They are scared, isolated, and exhausted, caught in a cycle of navigating a fragmented system that fails to meet their needs.

Their plea is clear: accessible, comprehensive care with long-term support.

In our first two sessions, we heard powerful personal stories and introduced a framework to begin shaping solutions. Now, we are building on that foundation with a solution-oriented process that brings together families, community leaders, and policymakers in honest dialogue. Together, let’s explore how we can open the door to help families, inform policy, and build a future where every person has the chance to thrive.

When we listen—really listen—we can create lasting change.
