2020 STATE CONFERENCE OVERVIEW
This year’s conference was originally scheduled for April at the Jackson Medical Mall’s Thad Cochran Center. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the venue was no longer available, and the conference was converted to a virtual format and rescheduled for June 8-12. This was a first for our organization, so many obstacles had to be overcome, and the results were worth it. Attendees enjoyed five days of dynamic speakers and earned continuing education credits from the Mississippi Department of Mental Health. Special thanks to the following conference sponsors for their support of our first-ever virtual conference:
