The summit will be co-hosted by state Reps. Jessica Benham (D-36th District) and Emily Kinkead (D-20th District) at the CCAC – Allegheny Campus, located at 818 Ridge Avenue.

Trying Together will host one of the sessions at the summit and set up a table during its resource fair.

The summit is a free event that brings hundreds of people and participating organizations together to share information on a wide variety of topics in the disability and mental health arena. Its aim is to bring resources and experts out of their office and into a single, easy-to-access environment in which people can meet face-to-face to better solve problems and enhance futures.

This year will have a larger resource fair, more free information sessions than last year, and a greater partnership with schools that will bring even more transition-aged young adults to the event to help them figure out their next steps.

Registration is open. The full schedule for the summit is available on its website.
