We're Back and Together Again!
We're still dealing with the aftermath of the pandemic, in which our world completely changed. Three years in which the need for mental health care exploded. Three years in which mental health providers took on the world's problems. Leaving us depleted, exhausted and isolated. Leaving us ineffective and in need of care. The OAMHP Annual Conference is that place of care.
It's two days of: • Reassessing your need to nurture the self
• Connecting with colleagues
• Growth and inspiration
• Reflection and fun
