Thanks for joining us today on CRC Community Conversations.

👪 Today we’re introducing Shannon Hartnett, Executive Director of Northeast DuPage Family and Youth Services (NEDFYS). Shannon shares how NEDFYS and the CRC are working together to create a vital alternative for individuals facing behavioral health crises — offering support that helps prevent involvement with child welfare, juvenile justice, or criminal justice systems.

As Shannon puts it, “It’s about having options, and it’s not one size fits all.” We couldn’t agree more.

That’s it for today — see you next time on CRC Community Conversations!
