The Road Home: Veterans Conference Planned
SAMHSA, in partnership with the Therapeutic Communities
of America, will convene a science-based, national conference
to address issues facing returning veterans and their
families.
"The Road Home: National Behavioral Health Conference
on Returning Veterans and Their Families," is scheduled
for March 16 to 18 in Washington, DC.
The conference will give Federal, state, public, and
private service providers the information and approaches
they need to help veterans and their families build resiliency
and to prevent and treat complex problems, such as mental
disorders (including post-traumatic stress disorder),
substance abuse, suicide, and co-occurring disorders.
Participants will include Government agencies at all
levels, private sector organizations, primary care providers,
community health and prevention specialists, substance
abuse and mental health care providers, educators, advocacy
groups, policymakers, consumers, veterans, members of
tribal communities, and individuals interested in issues
facing returning veterans and their families.
To register, visit the SAMHSA Web site at www.samhsa.gov. Phone registration
is also available at 1 (866) 277-4772. Early registration
