The last few years have been incredibly challenging times for communities with far reaching mental health and wellness implications for students, educators, and communities. The first annual OHIO Southern Community Mental Health Awareness Conference will address such implications interactively through a focus on topics directly related to understanding behavioral and mental health concerns, with an emphasis on community.
Those attending the conference will also be provided with information on local and state mental health resources, as well as resources for continued learning opportunities. This conference aims to initiate a wider conversation about mental and behavioral health in our communities. Join us to improve understanding about current local and national trends in mental health, examine strategies for promoting positive mental health and collaborate and create change in our community! The conference keynote speaker is Jake Fraley with the Cincinnati Reds. For more information visit our website at www.ohio.edu/southern/mental-health-conference.
