The Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services is sponsoring an evening at the Bowtie Theater-Movieland in Richmond to raise awareness about children’s mental health.
The event will kickoff at 5:00 p.m. with a welcome reception and a FREE DINNER, and informational tables from organizations that focus on children’s mental health, adolescent substance abuse, early childhood services, suicide prevention.
