Redefining Crazy Fall Conference
Presentation Application
Redefining Crazy highlights transitional aged youth and mental health with an artistic touch this month. Three presenters will each use different forms of media to discuss youth and their mental health throughout the past year, all while sharing artistic resources geared towards youth as a tool to prioritize self-care.
We are inviting engaging presentations on paradigm-shifting solutions to address hoarding and cluttering at the individual, community, and system levels. Presentations should bring diverse perspectives in peer support, up-and-coming research, clinical presentations that address and incorporate the needs of diverse communities, as well as engage new and non-traditional stakeholders via culturally responsive, person-first, evidence-based solutions.
The goal of this virtual conference is to convene peers, experts, stakeholders, scientists, policy leaders, providers, researchers, and community advocates in a collaborative and actionable learning environment to advance innovation and highlight the work and values of diverse leaders across sectors to discuss matters and new information on mental health. All conference attendees and presenters are encouraged to come together to chart a roadmap of exciting new directions that will change the future of mental health and the understanding of peer work.
Event Date: November 3-5, 2021 4pm – 5:30PM
