The Black Hollywood Education Resource Center will present its first Health Matters Film Block. This year’s films will help us reimage therapeutic treatments and models of mental health care to determine ways that we can adequately address the complex challenges of mental illness, which accounts for approximately one-third of mental illness globally. Since the COVID-19 pandemic we have witnessed firsthand an increase of suicide across the lifespan and across the globe. These circumstances call for radical change in the paradigm and practices of mental health care, including improving standards of clinician training, and revisioning current models of mental health care delivery. Upon completion of this conference, participants will enhance their knowledge of evidence-based practices to improve the behavioral and clinical skills of nurses, social workers, and other health care professionals who care for persons and families of all ages and cultural / socioeconomic status living with mental illness across the globe through the lens of film and the sound of music.In Person Event Schedule8:00 am – Continental Breakfast and Registration
