Although we’ve made a lot of progress in the fight against COVID-19, it’s still difficult to predict what conditions will be in June, 2022. We’re currently planning to meet in person in Kennewick, WA, but depending on the status of the virus, we may have to pivot to a virtual event. We’ll closely monitor the situation and send updates as they’re available, but in the meantime, we invite you to join us in presenting innovative workshops at the 32nd annual Washington Behavioral Healthcare Conference!
The conference brings together a diverse group of presenters to share information about therapeutic interventions, recovery supports, promising programs, and policies that advance best practices. Our goal is to provide a learning experience that expands professional knowledge, promotes community partnerships, and helps make recovery a reality. In 2021, 687 people attended—this is a great opportunity to share your knowledge and experience!
As a presenter at the 2022 WBHC, you’ll gain visibility and have the opportunity to interact with a broad audience. Conference attendees include clinical staff, program managers, consumers, family members, peers, nonprofit staff, and staff of system partners and state agencies including the Health Care Authority, DSHS, and the Department of Corrections.
Specific areas of interest for 2022 include:
- Race & Equity in Behavioral Health
