ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ Releases Call for Presentations for
2016 Annual Conference
Advancing Whole Health & Healthy Communities:
The Pathway to Population Health
September 14-16, 2016
Hudson Valley Resort & Conference Center
Kerhonkson, NY
ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ is very pleased to welcome proposals for our 34th Annual Conference, entitled “Advancing Whole Health & Healthy Communities: The Pathway to Population Health” to be held from September 14-16 at the Hudson Valley Resort & Conference Center in Kerhonkson, with overflow lodging at the Honors Haven Resort in nearby Ellenville.
As you hopefully know, the ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ Annual Conference has become widely regarded as one of the nation’s finest training opportunities and a unique celebration of advances in personal and professional strategies and public policies that advance the recovery, rehabilitation, rights and full community inclusion of people with psychiatric disabilities and/or diagnoses.
For over 3 decades, ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ has provided timely information, energizing inspiration and critically valued networking opportunities in a celebratory atmosphere and retreat-like environment nestled within the Catskill Mountains.
Per our theme, this year’s conference recognizes that in order to help ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ers with a variety of mental health, addiction and medically related conditions to advance their recoveries and resilience, we must offer a whole health approach that addresses all of the domains of wellness.
And, since recovery and wellness don’t happen in a vacuum, we must improve the health and resilience of the communities in which they live, addressing a variety of potential barriers related to housing, poverty, discrimination, exclusion, isolation and health disparities.
This year’s program will feature some of the nation’s and state’s most inspiring and compelling speakers in these areas, most notably:
National Council for Community Behavioral Healthcare
National Empowerment Center
Detroit Recovery Center
Wellness Institute, CSPNJ
Policy Research Associates
Copeland Center for Wellness & Recovery
Advocacy Unlimited
Mental Health America
Our Program Will Also Feature
and a special showing of ‘‘ with Oryx Cohen
Check back in the coming weeks for details about these and other speakers and program offerings!
