7th Annual Symposium (Professional Admission w/ CEU)

This year’s in-person, full-day symposium will bring together presenters, speakers, experts, and panelists who will speak on developments and innovations in the behavioral health field. We will also learn how programs and interventions are addressed, funded, and implemented within community, social, and clinical conversations.

For example, the post-pandemic “new normal,” appropriate interventions, stakeholder accountability, dismantling systemic racism, and beyond. Acknowledging, incorporating and establishing mechanisms addressing the “Social Determinants of Health” goes a long way in creating the right opportunities to increase the chances of long-lasting health and well-being.

When: November 11, 2022 from 8:00AM to 4:00PM
Where: Esperanza Art Center, North 5th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19140
