Event Groups:
• State Support Team 6 - District Events
Description:
 
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced on August 23, that registration for Building Resiliency: A Pediatric Mental Health Summit is open at governor.ohio.gov/summit. The summit will be held on Thursday, September 26, 2019 at the Sinclair Conference Center in Dayton. As a result of Dayton’s tornadoes in the spring and the recent tragic shooting in the Oregon District, Governor DeWine, in conjunction with the Ohio Children’s Hospital Association, will hold the summit as a way to give members of the community tools they need as they work with children dealing with trauma. The hope is that having these tools will give kids the opportunity for a healthy and bright future. The Summit is open to adults across the state who touch the lives of children, such as parents, coaches, school personnel, counselors, and health care professionals. Attendees will learn how to spot the signs and symptoms of trauma in children and tangible strategies to address it from experts in mental health, health care, education, and other fields. Questions?
