Listening Session: Protecting Kids During the Pandemic
Cafe Appalachia 206 D St, South Charleston, United StatesKids affected by the drug crisis have specific and acute, unmet needs. Parents, grandparents, guardians, doctors, nurses, teachers, bus drivers, camp counselors, coaches, etc.-- these community members work with these children, care for them, and have important knowledge that should inform how we, as a state, move forward to address their needs. How is your community responding? That's what we'd like to learn. This meeting will be a 90-minute listening session-- asking questions and listening to you. Refreshments will be provided. Any questions you have can be asked to Kelli Caseman at kelli@thinkkids.org.
