A team of Texas YAP Leaders spent the past few days participating in the Engage and Excel Conference, hosted by the Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute. The conference is for community leaders, mental health professionals, law enforcement, and stakeholders from across Texas who are engaged in improving their local behavioral health systems. Participants come together to share best practices, inspire collaboration, and learn from each other.

Thanks to our YAP team who represented us: Darci Porter, Assistant National Director of Behavioral Health Services, Erika Bitar, YES Waiver Program Director of Central Texas, Naomi Chargois-Edwards, YES Waiver Program Director Harris County, and Tiffany Lindley, and Virginia Hoft, National Director of Substance Use Services (not pictured).
