Sponsored By: 
In 1978 Sen. Robert F. Kennedy addressed the nation for a need to change services to persons with mental health concerns. His speech followed the national scandal and exposé of the Willowbrook training school in NYC presented across media by a young reporter named Geraldo Rivera.

We will unveil several opportunities for technology adoption focused toward invigorating innovation and renewing focus on individualized, person-centered services.
