Call for Presentations
The theme of this year’s conference is Mind the Gap and will focus on improving gaps in the continuum of care, underserved populations, healthcare policy, cross-sector partnerships, self-care and compassion fatigue, drug and alcohol education, emerging trends, industry revenue and budgeting, peer & family support, faith-based support, recovery, healthcare disparities, technology and innovation and more.
Behavioral health of individuals and families remains the overarching focus of the Summer Institute. Presentations demonstrating creativity and innovation in the delivery of behavioral health care to diverse and underrepresented members of our community are encouraged. Presentations need to be fact-based, but not necessarily data driven.
Consider presenting ground-breaking and impactful initiatives. Application deadline is 5:00 pm (Mountain Standard Time) on May 1, 2020. Lead presenters will be notified of their presentation status on or prior to May 15, 2020.
