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

October 10 2025 @ 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm PDT
Free

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.

Community leaders and policymakers are invited to join this virtual guided conversation grounded in real stories and honest dialogue.
Families and self-advocates are welcome to attend.

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.
