On October 18, more than 200 educators, mental health professionals, and various community providers came together to celebrate the 16th annual Building Bridges Conference at Vassar College. The theme for this year's conference was "Strengthening Our Foundation," and was co-hosted by Astor Services, Dutchess County Department of Mental Health, Poughkeepsie City School District and Mental Health America of Dutchess County, NY

This year's Building Bridges included some motivating and challenging speakers including Heather Ann Pitcher (@The Brain and Body Coalition ) and her panel of young adults who shared personal experiences including challenges they faced, how adults can be more supportive, and how culture and mental health intersect in their own lives. We had a special appearance from Josh Ochs (SmartSocial.com) who taught us how to work with artificial intelligence instead of against it, and how to protect our young people from the potential dangers of AI. Various workshops focused on topics like trauma, grief, green mental health, and mindfulness, all with a focus on cultural humility and sensitivity. What an incredible day of learning, growing, and strengthening our system of care together!
