Yesterday, SBR was proud to welcome legislators and community partners for a discussion on behavioral health, autism, and intellectual disabilities.
Thank you to Senator Joe Picozzi, Rep. Anthony Bellmon, Rep. Sean Dougherty, Rep. Ed Neilson, Senator Tina Tartaglione, Pennsylvania Advocacy and Resources for Autism and Intellectual Disability (PAR), Philadelphia Academy Charter School, George Washington High School, and The Alliance of Community Service Providers.
We are deeply appreciative of all the attendees and presenters who shared their lived experiences and perspectives. Your stories and insight are powerful and essential in helping leaders better understand the realities faced by individuals and families — and how policy can better support them.
We value our partnership with PAR and our legislative allies and look forward to continuing this work together to strengthen services and supports for our community.
