Speaker
We are honored to welcome Shashank V. Joshi, MD, Professor (Teaching) of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Child Development) and, by courtesy of Pediatrics and of Education at Stanford University School of Medicine as our guest speaker. At a time when youth mental health & wellbeing, connection, and belonging are top concerns, this conversation reflects issues many PACF grantees address every day and offers timely insight into the support young people need to thrive. Following brief remarks, Dr. Joshi will be joined by a student panel that brings youth voices to the forefront.
Performance
We are thrilled to welcome Harmony Ensemble, a student-led nonprofit organization, whose special musical performance will open our program bringing cultural inspiration to the evening.
