Best Practices Conferences
Student Mental Health Best Practices Conferences
With funding from the California Mental Health Services Authority (CalMHSA) through proposition 63, we hosted our inaugural conference in 2014 which brought together over 200 mental health and wellness professionals from the University of California, the California State University system, and the California Community Colleges to share best and promising practices towards addressing the mental health needs of our students. The synergy that grew from this conference inspired the 2015 all staff conference which brought together mental health staff from all 10 UC's for advanced training and collaboration. Attendees at this conference pleaded for this to be an annual occurrence! With the advocacy of the Student Mental Health Oversight Committee, we secured funding for our third annual best practice conference which was held in December 2016. Plans are underway for the fourth annual best conference conference in Fall 2018.
