Description
Participants will learn about Montbello Solutions, a community-driven collaborative of organizations, clinical therapists, community service providers and holistic wellness professionals determined to address the mental health needs of the community, including children, youth and adults. Presenters will tell a story of this one-of-a-kind collaborative network comprising dozens of partners who have created a multi-year-funded, culturally relevant approach to addressing the needs of our diverse Montbello community and people of color. Collaboration is the key, and we will engage the audience in dialogue as well as a fun, interactive icebreaker proven to get people talking.
