This year’s program will be a very special one, made even more memorable by our move to a new conference site that can accommodate all registrants, the lovely Villa Roma Resort and Conference Center in Callicoon, NY. The program below is highlighted by:
-
our 3 keynote and 56 timely, inspirational and informative presentations featuring speakers like Peggy Swarbrick, Ron Manderscheid, Luis Lopez, Lindsey Sizemore, Sarah Felman, Vesper Moore, Greg Dicharry, Lucy Winer, Victor Pate, Gayle Bluebird, OMH Commissioner Ann Sullivan and OASAS General Counsel Rob Kent.
-
screening of nationally acclaimed films Suicide: The Ripple Effect (‘a film and a movement’) with co-director Greg Dicharry, a new Hearing Voices Video: “Testimony from Voice Hearers Themselves” with Oryx Cohen and Sarah Felman and a first ever showing of a new film in progress entitled “Unlocked” by Lucy Winer that is a follow up to her landmark movie “Kings Park” Lucy Winer.
-
another hilarious performance by this year’s comics at our 8th Annual ‘Stand Up for Mental Health’ comedy show with David Granirer, a special concert with Michael Skinner and another session of ‘Healing Through Hip Hop.’
-
free healing Shiatsu, Yoga, T’ai Chi, Qi Gong Reiki, Massage and Acupuncture sessions
We’ll be sending out regular postings about all of our speakers and their presentations at the coming days. Stay tuned!
