2012 Conference Scholarships

As in previous years, Families Together in New York State encourages the empowerment of children and youth with social, emotional and behavioral challenges and their families. Once again we are offering scholarships to the 2012 Annual Conference. Family members and youth exemplifying qualities as leaders and advocates in their communities are encouraged to apply.

Jonathan Mooney is a writer and activist with dyslexia who learned to read when he was 12-years-old. He since earned an honors degree in English Literature at Brown University and has written and published two books.

The first, “Learning Outside The Lines” (now in its 14th printing) hit bookshelves when he was 23. This, coupled with his most recent book, “The Short Bus,” has established Jonathan as one of the foremost leaders in LD/ADHD, disabilities, and alternative education.

Jonathan has appeared in The New York Times, USA Today, NPR, ABC News, New York Magazine, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe and numerous other local and regional papers in the cities, states, and countries where Jonathan has traveled.

2012 Annual Conference Sponsorship Opportunities

Consider becoming a Sponsor of the Annual Conference this year!
Each year, our conference grows and reaches new people across New York State. Last year, close to 500 New York families and advocates gathered together in support of children, youth and families challenged by children’s mental health and other cross-systems needs. This year, we anticipate hundreds of attendees once again, and invite you to be a part of our conference by becoming a sponsor.

An Invitation To Exhibit

Each year, hundreds of families from all over New York State attend the Families Together in New York State Annual Conference, dedicated to strengthening children and their families. At Families Together, we are committed to children and youth with social, emotional and behavioral challenges. Our Conference allows families to come together once a year to gain support, information and new resources.

We invite you to share in the celebration of the family voice and family support by exhibiting at our conference and meeting people across our state who work every day to enhance the lives of children. Our theme this year, New Strategies for Navigating a Changing System, serves as great platform for you to share your expertise and/or product with our families.
