NFFCMH 21st Annual Conference: The Diversity & Resilience of Families

The resilience of children, youth and families has forged the way to more family-driven, youth guided services systems. We know that families raising children with mental health challenges are very diverse. Emotional, behavioral or mental health needs cut across all income, educational, geographical, racial, ethnic, and religious groups. They are found among single parents and two-parent families and in birth, adoptive, and foster families. This conference addresses a variety of difficult challenges that families face, including the taboo subjects that families and providers are often uncomfortable talking about.
