What an extraordinary gathering! A heartfelt thank you to Comcast, Fast Forward, and Los Cien Sonoma County for convening such an impressive group of individuals and organizations dedicated to youth mental health. Together, we're making a real difference! ?? ??
In partnership with Los Cien Sonoma County and Comcast Business, Fast Forward joined the “Bridging the Resource Divide with Technology” event to explore solutions for Sonoma County’s youth mental health crisis. The conversation highlighted the power of technology in expanding access to critical resources for Latinx and BIPOC students. Thank you to Fast Forward alum Rachel Miller from Closegap for sharing her insights, along with panelists Amie Carter, Ed.D., M.A., M.Ed. from the Sonoma County Office of Education and Cindy Berríos from On the Margins. And a special thanks to Arlen Fernandez from Telemundo 48 área de la Bahía for guiding the discussion. Collaboration across sectors is essential. By bringing together educators, nonprofit leaders, and technology partners, we can help ensure students get the support they need, when they need it.
