  This is a good educational discussion that will help people understand the Autism Spectrum and also how Medicare- Medicaid dollars pass through from the state from the Federal government and how they work, don't work, and are applied to our children. For those who are interested in how local social services work - don't miss this.

  Working together is appropriate and needed. It was not the BOS but Penny Gross who appropriatley referred to Zero Tolerance, - as an example of things to review along with other stress issues among the young.It is not a simple question and should be a collaborative discussion since depression and suicide are both community and school issues. Join the community discussion sponsored by the voluntary Advisory Board for the Garltan Center for Community Mental Health for the free April 29th Nexus Conference: Best Practices in Prevention-Intervention - A Vision: Working Together to Reduce Mental Health Problems for The Young (8:45-3:45) at FCPS Virginia Hills Administrative Center, 6520 Diana Lane Alexandria, VA 22310.
