Breaking Barriers 2025 Symposium Info & Agenda — Breaking Barriers California

In light of federal uncertainty and rapid change impacting state-level decisions, achieving a whole child/whole student integrated ecosystem is no longer just an idea, but a necessity.

This year’s Symposium will explore how we can build stronger, more resilient systems to better support California’s children, youth, and families through our Pillars of Shared Leadership, Shared Goals, Shared Information, and Shared Finance.

Together, we can do things better, faster, and at a higher capacity.
Together, we are stronger.
Together, we can create a future where challenges become opportunities.
Together, we can work towards an integrated ecosystem.

Thank you for joining us as we stay the course, together.
