Description

The 2021 MHAI Annual Symposium - 'From Research to Treatment: The Post-Pandemic World & Addressing Mental Health' This year, Mental Health America of Indiana will be hosting the annual Mental Health and Addiction Symposium in conjunction with the Heroes for Recovery Luncheon at the Embassy Suites Plainfield and will also be streamed virtually! We invite you to attend this signature—and now hybrid—event! As we maneuver out of the Pandemic, we recognize the growing gap in funding for mental health and addiction programs and services in Indiana and across this country. We must respond by re-inventing old strategies and creating new and innovative ways for our Hoosier community to become even more involved in our work and mission. Stress, anxiety, grief, depression, suicide and addiction are affecting many Hoosiers across the state. There has never been a more pertinent moment in time to help Hoosiers living with mental health conditions and addictive disorders than now. The Annual Mental Health and Addiction Symposium will include workshops that are focused on research finding in prevention and early intervention, community-based treatments in minority populations, and supports that are recovery-focused and that encompass community inclusion. Join us as we discuss Research to Treatment: The Post Pandemic World and Addressing Mental Health. The Annual Symposium is hosted in partnership with the Indiana Division of Mental Health and Addiction, and with the Indiana University Department of Psychiatry. We thank them for their support!
