We wanted to extend our heartfelt thanks for joining us at the 2024 Youth IDD/Mental Health Summit in Corvallis on August 20-21. Your presence and participation contributed to the success of the event.
We were deeply inspired and challenged by our keynote speaker, Greg Santucci, OT, whose insights sparked meaningful discussions. Senator Gelser Blouin’s presentation on the Culture of Yes bill provided valuable context and direction for our ongoing advocacy. Additionally, we learned from our fellow Oregonians who courageously shared their clinical and lived experiences.
Special Thanks to Our Sponsors: We would also like to express our deep gratitude to our sponsors—OSU College of Health, DHS Office of IDD Services (ODDS), Oregon Health Authority (OHA), PacificSource, CareOregon, Multnomah County IDD Services, and Albertina Kerr. Their generous support made this Summit possible and helped bring together professionals, advocates, and community members to advance our shared goals.
