Dear Kathryn, I attended the conference on Student Suspension last September. The work I do training teachers and providing school mental health consultation helps to answer the question "What supports are in place to help children with behavioral health issues?" To that end, I am attaching a flyer to a professional development workshop I am providing in Hartford this summer. If I can be of service to the Center for Children's Advocacy in the future, please feel free to contact me. Thanks for the great work you do!
