Please join us at NAMI Oklahoma’s 19th annual conference, Working Together: Advocates for Recovery--Consumers, Families, Professionals, and the Community, which will be held on Thursday and Friday, June 22-23, 2006, at the Southern Hills Marriott Hotel in TulsaOklahoma. You won’t want to miss some of the wonderful opportunities to learn from experts in the field. This collaborative effort provides workshops to meet the needs of everyone and bring together the community and relevant mental health, substance abuse, social service, advocacy, and criminal justice agencies to address issues relating to mental illness and substance abuse in Oklahoma.
The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) in Oklahoma, The Oklahoma Partnership in Creating Change (TOPICC), the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services, and the Mental Health Association of Tulsa are partnering to bring day one’s mental illness, substance abuse, and criminal justice section of this event. The workshops on mental illness, substance abuse, and criminal justice will allow us to continue our work on enhancing and developing innovative evidence based programs, practices, and policies in Oklahoma. Nationally known experts, as well as Oklahoma leaders, will be presenting the facts that are needed to sustain efforts in developing a systematic approach.
On day two, Dr. C. C. Nuckols is returning to Oklahoma to speak on the Science of Recovery and Complicated Post Traumatic Stress Disorders. Other workshops you won’t want to miss include one on the Mental Health Needs of the Returning Soldiers; The Incarcerated Parent: Effects on Children; and workshops relating to trauma and children. Our friend, Ron Willis from Kansas, is coming to offer management training that will warm your heart and impact the way you do business!
Thursday evening, June 22, at 6:30 p.m. will afford an opportunity to view the powerful documentary, Out of the Shadow. By sharing her family's story in this documentary, Susan Smiley hopes to encourage other families, educate people, and dispel stigma and misconceptions about schizophrenia. She also hopes it will help fuel grassroots advocacy to transform the current mental healthcare system. There will be a panel of experts who will react to the documentary and be available to answer questions. These experts include Don Chesler, M.D., and Rand Baker, Deputy Commissioner for Mental Health Services, Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services.
