Webinar - Live - Youth and Caregiver Perspectives of Mental Health and Navigating Support with Dr. Patrick Jachyra

In this webinar, a panel of youth and their caregivers describe the triumphs and challenges with mental health and discuss their experiences accessing healthcare support. This webinar will draw on a project completed by the POND Network, where youth created digital stories about their experiences with mental health and provided tips on how they would like healthcare professionals to speak to them about their mental health. 

This webinar is appropriate for caregivers of autistic youth and professionals working with autistic youth.
