This is the second of two online sessions presented by Lisa Sheehy, a Public Benefits & Health Policy Specialist at the MA Department of Public Health, Division for Children & Youth with Special Health Needs. It will be geared towards benefits for young adults ages 18 and older–something to begin thinking about well before your student’s 18th birthday. Lisa’s background includes public benefits and health access advocacy, collaboration to improve systems of care, coordinated care for children with medical complexity and clinical legal education.
