11:00-12:00 – Working Together to Ensure Safety in the Autism Community
Join us for an open forum to
discuss ways to protect and ensure the welfare of children and adults affected
by autism. Our community first
responders – police officers, firefighters, emergency medical team workers and
hospital emergency room doctors and nurses – are the first ones we encounter
when faced with emergencies – they want to know what we need, as much as we
want them to know how to help our children – join the discussion on how we can
work together for the benefit of all!
Welcoming Remarks by DCMH Commissioner Grant Mitchell, MD
This is a free forum but attendance MUST be reserved in advance –
