As we move into 2024, we invited you to join us in discussing lessons learned from our November 2023 Breaking Barriers Integrated Care Symposium. As identified by our 400+ attendees, we presented priority next steps in transforming California's child and youth support systems into ONE ecosystem that is transparent, representative, comprehensive, effective, and accessible. Presentations included how to most effectively build shared leadership, goals, financing and information through the extraordinary reform efforts California is implementing at this time; including Community Schools, CYBHI and many others. Presentations were delivered by experts in the Field

Thanks to the support of the MHSOAC, and the unprecedented engagement of you, the champions of interagency and integration work, last year's Symposium was a tremendous success. We welcomed community members, community-based providers, child-serving agency professionals, funders and others to attend this webinar. We heard from legal, finance, collective impact, and county leaders about how to advance California’s child-serving ecosystem that is capitalizing on resources and recommendations from recent published research and practice. The momentum could stop there, and we were and remain dedicated to helping turn the ideas into action. We extended the opportunity to leverage the valuable knowledge of expert speakers from across the child serving system as they impart how you and your teams can forge efficacious and longstanding implementation of the pillars of integration.

2024 Breaking Barriers Integrated Care Symposium

Sunday, November 17 - Tuesday, November 19, 2024
Sacramento, CA

MAKING [IT] REAL
[It] = Leadership
[It] = Goals
[It] = Information
[It] = Financing
[It] = ONE System
How do we achieve [it]?
Breaking Barriers is united by the conviction that the child-serving ecosystem requires the joint capacities of all stakeholders. In order for children, youth, and families to engage with services and supports they need, we must realize ONE system. We strive to make [system integration] real. At the Symposium, we bring best practices and highlight the work counties and organizations are doing.

How do we take the next step and make [it] real, transforming policy into practice? 
What is the [it] you are trying to achieve? 
Is [it] sustainable financing and funding? 
Is [it] holding the decision-makers accountable to families? 
Is [it] maintaining momentum after the initial excitement? 
This year, we bring you more practical ways to achieve [it].

Let’s make [it] real.
