The Knowledge Center hosts an annual symposium for the children’s behavioral health policy, practice, advocacy, and research communities across the Commonwealth.  The Symposium is typically held in May in conjunction with Mental Health Month.  The agenda consists of the Gailanne Reeh Lecture and the CBH Innovation Awards.

The Gailanne Reeh Lecture honors Gailanne’s deep commitment and lifelong dedication to improving the lives of children.  Gailanne was a cornerstone of the behavioral health, human services, and early education fields and worked across organizational and disciplinary boundaries with skill and grace.  She tirelessly built coalitions to ensure that everyone had a seat at the table and all voices were heard. Her unifying and energizing spirit continues to guide our work together.
