MENTAL HEALTH FORUMS

In 2009, MHAA hosted two Mental Health Forums, one on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and the other on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. These forums are public awareness/education programs and are free-to-the-public, featuring mental health professionals, such as counselors, social workers, therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists. MHAA plans to host future Mental Health Forums in 2010. Click Events for more information.
