Registration is now open!
We would like to invite you to join us on Friday September 27, 2019 for the third annual “Summit of Intersections” hosted by Heartly House, Inc., Mental Health Association of Frederick County, Wells House, Inc., and the Frederick County Health Department. This event is sponsored by the generosity of Precision Diagnostics, Inc., and the United Way of Frederick County.
This one-day conference will be on the intersection of the criminal justice system and those experiencing mental health disorders, sexual abuse and substance use disorders. These topic areas are ones that separate conferences are held to address but very few seek to bring content experts together.
The “2019 Summit of Intersections” is for behavioral health, medical, social work, educator, and allied professionals to gain knowledge about the Criminal Justice System, Mental Health Disorders, Sexual Abuse and Substance Use Disorders and how these overlap and reinforce one another. Mental Health, Sexual Abuse and Substance Use Disorder also contribute to the next generation’s involvement in the Criminal Justice System. With a holistic understanding in place, registrants can then begin collaborating on action steps that medical, behavioral health, educational, government, business, religious, and allied institutions could take to affect this cycle in a positive manner.
The Summit of Intersections is authorized through the FCHD by the Maryland Board of Professional Counselors and Therapists to sponsor 6.5 continuing education units for Category A CEU. Maryland Addiction Prevention Professionals Association (MAPPA) has approved the sponsorship of 6.5 continuing education units for Prevention Professionals. CEUs have been applied for to sponsor 6.5 social work continuing education units for Category I CEUs. This activity is pending approval from the National Association of Social Workers. Notification will be sent once final approval is received. Participants must attend all hours of the training and submit an evaluation to receive a certificate.
