The CA Alliance of Child and Family Services (CA Alliance) hosted a special broadcast on October 19, 2021 to put a spotlight on School Mental Health programming. This was a vital conversation with CA Alliance Members, special appearances by State Senator Connie Leyva, State Assemblywoman Sharon Quirk-Silva, and a student from Southwest High School Laura Avila. There is also a panel, facilitated by UBU Keris Myrick, with CA Alliance member agencies Jonathan Goldfinger (Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services), Josh Leonard (East Bay Agency for Children), Allison Becwar (Lincoln), and Jenna Nunes (Sierra Vista Child and Family Services).
