Rebels? Why we chose the Princess over Michael Phelps

"I'd just as soon kiss a Wookie." That quote from Princess Leia communicates perfectly the response youth gave me when I invited them to this year’s CMHD (Children’s Mental Health Day) webinar by SAMHSA.

Ouch. It’s actually the best offering I have ever seen from SAMHSA who scored an amazing appearance of Michael Phelps to appear on a nationally broadcast webinar for CMHD.  Year after year, the best we have seen from our national leaders has been an appealing theme and some talking points.  Not even Youth M.O.V.E. National has been able to offer the kind of quality seen in other movements to its participating chapters.
