NYAPRS Note: The 2023 In My Mind (IMM23) Conference has begun taking in abstract submissions for the October conference. Please see below for more information on the conference and how to submit an abstract.
On Thursday, October 12, 2023, the In My Mind (IMM23) Conference will be held under a co-Sponsorship with the Rehabilitation Counseling Programs of the Counseling and Mental Health Professions Department in the School of Health Professions and Human Services at Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY. This year’s gathering will focus on LGBTQIA+ Black and Peoples of Color living with serious mental illness, physical and cognitive struggles, and on neurodiverse spectra. We recognize that many community members struggle with disabilities that aren’t obvious/apparent, and we are mindful of those who are sight impaired; will strive to ensure accessible material – color filters, alt-text, and for the hearing impaired, sign language. We are making every effort to provide a hybrid platform, where participants can gather both in person and remotely; we recognize that some community members who, for their compromised health and mental health, may still need to avoid public spaces. Being sensitive to our communities, we endeavor to honor and respect our communities’ needs and create opportunities for comfortable and safe participation.
