Program Focus and Goals
The Mental Health and Addictions field has struggled to address the complex interface and common boundaries of their respective disciplines. The challenge tointegrate services has demonstrated to clinicians how truly interwoven and connected these issues are. The 22nd Annual Northwest Conference on Behavioral Health & Addictive Disorders provides a forum for exploring the complex issues within the physical, emotional, social and spiritual dimensions of mental health and addictive disorders. Emphasis will also be placed on special topics such as trauma, depression, ethics, co-occurring disorders, spirituality, brain research and process addictions. A special track on sexuality and addiction, and other topics of interest will be included. View Conference Brochure
