YOUR VOICE MATTERS
Improve Behavioral Health Care in Rhode Island
Do you have lived experience with mental health, substance use challenges or DCYF involvement? Have you navigated getting treatment and care for yourself, child or family? Your perspective is valuable, and we’d love for you to join us!
Family Voice for Change
Let’s team up with other family leaders, state and community partners, and make a positive impact on behavioral health. We’ll work together to change policies and practices that better meet the needs of children, youth, and families, and reduce disparities. By sharing real-life experiences, we can create a more supportive environment for all families in Rhode Island.
