Keynote speaker Bobbi Taylor shared an inspiring talk called "Commitment to the Long Haul," highlighting the need for teamwork between system leaders and families with lived experiences. Attendees participated in activities, including writing "Letters to a Child," expressing their hopes for future generations. During the Lived Experience (LEX) Continuum Roundtable, participants discussed effective ways to partner with parents and youth.
