2025 Children’s Behavioral Health Summit

Breaking Stigmas, Empowering Families, Creating System Change
 
Join us on Monday, May 5th to explore how personal stories can drive change, break down stigma, and influence policy. Participants will engage in discussions on the value of lived experience, learn how to effectively share their stories, and discover where their voices can make the biggest impact. Breakout
sessions will provide space to explore advocacy & training opportunities, while a panel of youth, parents, and system leaders will highlight real-world examples of lived experience shaping the system. By coming together, we can strengthen our collective voice and create a more inclusive and responsive behavioral health system in Washington State.

What We Do

Washington State Community Connectors is a statewide network of parents, caregivers, youth, family-run organizations, and system partners, all dedicated to improving the availability and impact of child and family behavioral health services. 

By facilitating and providing training and technical support to the members of our community as well the Family, Youth, and System Partner Roundtables that advocate for the needs of children and families and provide peer support services, we are able to foster a sense of community and empower those who seek support to become more effective advocates for the children in their care. 

In addition to our work of connection, we also host a range of events for our community members to provide training, education, and information. You can learn more about these events by visiting our Event Calendar. If you are seeking support, visit our Resources page or join our WSCC Community Resource Facebook group.
