First “Get to Know Your Family Led Organizations” Event Planned

The Washington Statewide Leadership Initiative invites family, caregivers, professionals, and anyone concerned about Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs (CYSHCN) in the state of Washington to meet some of the family led groups that are pledged to serve CYSHCN. There will be a brief introduction of several of these organizations, then break-out groups where you can chat directly with the family leaders of the organizations. Learn about what services are available through these organizations, what events and projects they are working on, and how you can get more involved with them.

Register for the April 22 event here.
