Full Stakeholders & Work Groups

Full Stakeholder Meetings are typically held the first Monday of the Month from 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm at Bethany Baptist Church (149 Beattie Street). The meetings are open to any interested individual and are used as a forum to discuss pressing issues in children’s mental health, what we can do about them and to help prioritize OnCare efforts.
