NAMI Keystone Pennsylvania held its annual Child and Adolescent Mental Health Conference on Friday, June 8, 2018, at the Pittsburgh Airport Marriott. This day-long event unified families, caregivers, and behavioral health professionals who discussed best practices and new discoveries in youth mental wellness. This year’s conference was titled, Expanding the Conversation: Giving Voice to Children, Adolescents, and Families in the Behavioral Health System. Presenters explained how through research, practice, and advocacy they’re giving children and families the confidence to come forward and talk about their mental health concerns despite the stigma, while also giving them tools they need to play an active role in identifying and addressing challenges.
