There’s something powerful that happens when a room full of people comes together with one shared goal: supporting our community.

Our second Cross Collaboration Session was exactly that — a space where organizations showed up, leaned in, and learned from one another to better serve the individuals and families we all care about.

A huge thank you to our incredible presenters: EPIC, Betty Griffin Center, SMA Healthcare, Youth Crisis Center (YCC), New Growth Behavioral Health, and Charlie Health for sharing your expertise, experiences, and the important work you’re doing every day.

From meaningful conversations to new connections, it was inspiring to see collaboration in action — breaking down silos and finding ways to work together for the greater good.

This is how real impact happens. 🤝
