As a small but impactful international non-profit, ACRC has depended on the support of our partners to continue our laser-focus on best practices in the field of children’s mental health, including all of the systems and individuals who are instrumental in the health and well-being of kids and families.
Staying true to our values and principles, ACRC supports the involvement of young adults and families who have experienced these systems first-hand. They attend our conference to have their voices elevated as one component of family-driven, youth-guided approaches.
