Nurses Leading Change to Advance Mental Health

6th Annual Wisconsin Center for Nursing Conference

Monday, June 20, 2016

Richard T. Anderson Education Center

Waukesha County Technical College – Pewaukee Campus

Dear Nursing Colleagues & Partners,

Millions of Americans are affected by mental health conditions every year. The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) reports staggering numbers of individuals and families impacted by these conditions, with nearly 10 million adults living with a serious mental illness. Nurses can play a critical role in improving the quality of care for patients and their families. This year’s conference offered by the Wisconsin Center for Nursing, Inc. will address this important healthcare issue and focus on Nurses Leading Change to Advance Mental Health. The goal of the conference is to strengthen the competency of nurses(in ALL settings – including students, educators, and leaders) for integrating mental health concepts to improve the outcomes for patients and their families across the lifespan.

We are excited to announce Sarah (Sally) Raphel, MS, APRN-PMH, FAAN as our keynote speaker for the conference. This internationally known speaker served on national and international councils (NIMH, ICN, PAHO) and task forces for global mental and behavioral care delivery. She is the former Deputy Director of the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization Collaborating Center for Mental Health Nursing and is currently faculty in psychiatric-mental health nursing at The Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing. Her inspiring message will outline an action plan on Behavioral Health Workforce Development to respond to the changing mental health needs of the American population.

The day-long event will also include breakout sessions featuring content experts in the areas of mental health care across the lifespan, including infants & their families, adolescents, geriatrics and minorities and under-represented populations.
