Join CHILDREN AT RISK in North Texas, along with its partners,
on Friday, March 16th for the
Juvenile Justice and Mental Health Policy Luncheon
While 1 in 5 children in the United States is affected by mental illness, in the juvenile justice system, that number rises to a staggering 50%. This problem is compounded by the fact that Texas ranks 49th in the country for mental health expenditures. On Friday, March 16th we invite you to attend our Juvenile Justice and Mental Health Policy Luncheon to learn how Dallas County is taking positive steps to make juvenile mental health issues a priority. Learn about the recently established Juvenile Mental Health Docket in Dallas County, the impact it has had on the community, the challenges it faces, its success and its projected outcomes.
As a member of the BHLT you will receive a discount to the luncheon price. By using the link in the flyer, you will pay $15 for the luncheon instead of $35. If you have any additional questions please contact Diane Weaver Executive Director, I AM H.E.R.E. Coalition @ 972-744-9798, or by e-mail
