Summit of Intersections
Planning for the next Summit of Intersections is underway, however no date has been identified.
Summit of Intersections is a one day conference for behavioral health, medical, social work, educator, and allied professionals to gain knowledge about mental health disorders, sexual abuse and intimate partner violence, and substance use disorders and how these overlap and reinforce one another. With a holistic understanding in place, registrants can then begin collaborating on action steps that medical, behavioral health, educational, government, business, religious, and allied institutions could take to affect this cycle in a positive manner.
“I have been in the field for over 20 years and this is the best training I have ever attended.”
–Veronica E. Cruz, MSW, LCSW-C
