2024 Integrative Mental Health Strategies Conference

Description

Join us for the 2nd annual, "Integrative Mental Health Strategies: The Next Generation of Wellness Interventions."

While this event is designed for mental health practitioners of all types and specialties, offering a wide variety of mental health continuing education credits, it is open to anyone and everyone interested in enhancing mental health and overall wellness.

In our fast-paced, highly-specialized society, where elements of mental and physical health have been increasingly treated as separate components of a functional machine, this conference strives to connect systems, honoring the fact that all dimensions of mental and physical well being are inextricably intertwined. This annual conference offers practical strategies that may be immediately applied in practice to remove blocks to wellness, align all aspects of the human body/mind complex, and pave a path to living a vital, healthy life. It features evidence-based modalities drawn from the cutting edge of scientific research, while also honoring ancient technologies which have proved over time to be highly effective and efficient in restoring optimal function.

Our goal is to educate, increase awareness of options that enhance mental health and delineate specialties in a manner that allows practitioners to seamlessly refer clients (or themselves) for the best care possible. Join us for a day of innovative mental health modalities, designed to deeply enhance the health and mental wellness of individuals and their communities.
