Last week, Dr. Steve Merahn and Shyanne Anthony had the opportunity to present at the Child Welfare League of America, sharing insights on supporting neurodivergent children and youth with co-occurring mental health needs.

Conversations like these are critical as we continue to strengthen how systems show up for children, families, and communities.

We’re proud to be part of the ongoing work to bring more awareness, education, and compassionate care to those who need it most.
