July 13-14, 2008
From
Innovation to Practice
Management of
inmates with mental
health and substance abuse problems is among the most pressing concerns
in corrections today. That's why NCCHC's annual seminar
has become a must-attend educational event for practitioners and health
administrators from all sectors of corrections. The
meeting will take place on Sunday, July 13, from 9 am to 5 pm,
and Monday, July 14, from 9 am to 4 pm.
Standout Sessions
To provide much needed guidance, this program will
address many of the major mental health care issues that
challenge facilities, along with some important elements that
tend to get less attention. Speakers will provide strategies for
providing quality care along the continuum and smoothing reentry
to the community. Attendees will leave equipped to implement
these strategies and improve mental health services delivery at
their facilities.
The program
offers 32 sessions in four tracks, along
with special networking events to enable participants to learn
from each other.
Breakfast and luncheon programs will be sponsored on both days.
For a list of
sessions and speakers, see the
First Announcement.
Continuing
education credit (13 hours) is available for physicians, nurses,
psychologists and CCHPs. Credit for social workers is pending.
Special Invitation!
All seminar attendees are invited to take part in a roundtable
discussion on Sunday morning before the educational program
begins. This gathering is your opportunity to gain insights,
share ideas and expand your professional network. Light
breakfast will be provided. The Academy of Correctional Health
Professionals is sponsoring this special event.
