Dana Aron Weiner and the Children's Behavioral Health Transformation Initiative!!
Dr. Dana Weiner is a Senior Policy Fellow at the Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago. After decades of experience championing the causes and betterment of our youth, Dana was appointed by Governor JB Pritzker of Illinois to evaluate and redesign the mental health systems that support the most vulnerable kids and adolescents. She's created a blueprint for change, access, and education that's even got the Surgeon General interested!
We also know her as a funny, fun and brilliant sorority sister and it's impossible for us to contain our pride in this episode, so we don't.
That said, she does have a pet peeve and she's got some of the more creative ways to instantly turn her day to happy.
Here's her incredible bio on the Chapin Hall website:
