Collaboration for Mental Health: Meeting the Needs of One through Many
September 17-18, 2009
Tulsa Mariott Southern Hills

Purpose:

The 2009 Zarrow Symposium will bring together local, state, and national leaders to discuss best practice and research-based programs in mental health treatment and prevention. This year’s focus is on practical and reproducible demonstrations of community, professional, and/or agency collaborations that can serve the mental health needs of an individual, treatment of illness, or building wellness. Issues concerning special needs and high needs populations across the lifespan will be addressed. Ethical, biological, psychosocial, family support, and cultural related concerns will also be incorporated.

Objectives:

Participants in the Symposium may pursue one or more of the following objectives:

Identify high needs populations that may benefit most from collaboration of health care services and describe models and best practices that are successfully serving these populations.

Discuss the benefits of patient centered primary health care.

Discuss the intersection between the research community, mental health professionals, and the community at large, including the benefits that can result from such collaboration.

List special concerns that commonly need to be addressed when working with returning military personnel.

Identify and discuss ways in which state agencies are working together to transform mental health care in Oklahoma.

In addition to 6 plenary sessions, the conference will offer 27 90-minute workshops combining innovative approaches to treatment, best practice models, and ethical professional practice. Content will be focused on the concerns of social workers; licensed professional counselors; licensed marriage and family therapists; psychologists; certified alcohol and drug counselors; licensed alcohol and drug counselors; and other professionals engaged in social services, education, law enforcement, and the judicial system.
