Two area organizations have provided significant support to assist Safe Children Coalition in presenting its Annual Conference, which is held every year in April in recognition of National Child Abuse Prevention Month. This year's conference - which is being held virtually on April 29-30 – is fully booked, with over 500 registered to attend. Presentation sponsor for the conference is Palm Shores Behavioral Health Center, which provides quality mental health care and education services for children and adolescents who are experiencing behavioral, emotional, educational, family and social challenges. Gold sponsor is Suncoast Behavioral Health Center, a private, acute inpatient psychiatric facility designed to provide quality services in a supportive, healing environment to children, adolescents, adults and mature adults. This is Palm Shores' first year as a conference sponsor and the second year for Suncoast.
