Supporting children and youth with high emotional and behavioral needs is often lonely, overwhelming, complex and not well-understood. How as a caregiver do you navigate school services, child welfare, and other involved systems to get the support you need for your child? How as school providers might we learn with families through their advocacy journeys?

Let’s come together to listen and learn from family advocates and colleagues in the field to deepen our practice, student-center our services, and make this work less lonely and more connected.

The “Building Bridges of Hope” NTTAC Institute and accompanying community of practice will join parents, caregivers, providers and educators together to strategize how to support each other while supporting our students with emotional and behavioral health needs.

Join us as we create space to dream and hope together to find new ways of being, learning, and partnering.

Together, we engage in interactive discussions regarding what is working, concerning challenges, and rising promising practices and services nation-wide.
