Description:

The annual Mental Health Conference for Nursing and Other Healthcare Providers will take place on March 25 from 7:45 a.m. – 4:30 p.m, online via BigBlueButton.

Current treatments and models of mental health care do not adequately address the complex challenges of mental illness, which accounts for roughly one-third of adult disability globally. These circumstances call for radical change in the paradigm and practices of mental health care, including improving standards of clinician training, developing new research methods, and reenvisioning current models of mental health care delivery. Upon completion of this conference, participants will enhance their knowledge of evidence-based practices to improve the behavioral and clinical skills of nurses, social workers, and other health care professionals who care for persons and families of all ages and cultural / socioeconomic status living with mental illness.
