Step Up For Kids Rally
100 child advocates gathered at the Capitol on October 5, 2010 to hear about the importance of making children a higher priority in public policy. The Campaign had 3 speakers at the event: Alex Slusher, mom and suicide prevention activist; Erik Christenson, young adult with mental illness; and Erik’s mom, Jesselle Christenson. All spoke eloquently about the need for greater availability and accessibility of children’s mental health services. Thank you, Alex, Erik, and Jesselle.
