Children and Youth Well-being Network Meetings

The Children and Youth Well-being Network is comprised of youth, parents, caretakers, youth advocates and service providers. They meet monthly to lead the plan's creation to include: writing a vision, mapping out an engagement strategy, and identify what's working (or not). Join us at the next meeting!
