Summit 2023 - Los Angeles County

LEAD THE WAY! SPEAK OUT! MAKE CHANGE!

At this Summit you will:

• Hear the results from the Listening Sessions held in your county about mental health needs and priorities
• Collaborate with policy leaders and empower and support people with lived experience to transform the mental health system.
• Build an action agenda for Los Angeles County.
• Learn advocacy tools to implement the action agenda.

The LEAD Summits grow out of the Community Listening sessions and are an expanded opportunity to focus on the needs and priorities identified during those earlier meetings. We hope you will attend a Summit in your area and be a part of the conversation!
