Brooke will highlight the conclusions and recommendations of the Task Force, including what works, what doesn't work, model anti-harassment plans around the nation and world, and approaches parents and caregivers might pursue if their children are being targeted inappropriately, of if they are engaging in bullying.

Garen Staglin: A Father's Passion

Garen Staglin is a private investor and owner of the esteemed Staglin Family
Vineyard in the Napa Valley, California. Garen will share his experience when his son was diagnosed with schizophrenia after his freshman year at Dartmouth College. Instead of running away from this situation, he and his wife, Shari chose to run "towards" it and as a result of their advocacy and efforts, they have raised over $135 million for mental health research.
