Regional Conference

PROGRAMMING 

The state of the state: mental health.

The past several years we have witnessed a fundamental shift in mental health. Athletes publicly taking mental health breaks from competition, phone apps to access therapists on demand, and transformative therapies long in existence only now seen as safe and effective in the fight against mental illness.

This conference will help psychiatrists and other mental health professionals as thye continue to forge new paths in psychiatry.  While traditional clinical programming will be the focus, the lens of social inequities will be weaved in so as to better help our participants navigate their practice.
