In speaking with the audience at the first CRC professional’s luncheon in San Jose, I was touched by the enthusiasm of collaborative spirit between practitioners & program people. I believe it is this exact spirit that we can embrace to find the best help for clients who suffer from mental health and substance abuse issues. The room was filled with faces that were both emotive and intelligent, and spoke to me. So many of our young people suffer from confusion in identity with difficulty in transition to adulthood. Thank you CRC, and Steve Brugge in particular in bringing the best of the industry together together today at Maggiano’s Little Italy. Plus the food was great.
