Exploring Children’s Mental Health Care in Ontario
In the first of our 2021 Virtual Café webinar series, we spoke with three influential professionals from the kids’ mental health space for a panel discussion. Zoë Dawe, Joanne Lowe and Purnima Sundar shared their expertise and insights on the issues being faced by kids’ mental health service providers and what can be done to help. We come away from this conversation with a great message of hope and ideas of how to help our children move into the next new “normal” with the supports they need.
