Workshops and Public Presentations
People and mental health and child welfare systems can change the lives of people they work with in positive ways today. Through workshops and public presentations members of the Daughters and Sons Initiative discuss reasons that parenting status of people receiving services in mental health systems is often not tracked, ways that parenting can be supported, common experiences of children and adults who have a parent with mental illness and diverse resources available in the United States and around the world. Workshops and public presentations can be tailored to a particular audience, such as veterans and their families, or reach general audiences of people whose lives are impacted by mental illness.
