Managing Mental Health in Primary Care

Overview  

This conference is jointly provided by the University of Colorado College of Nursing Office of Continuing Nursing Education and the Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences. Primary care providers choosing to be educated about mental health will aid in ending the stigma and empower our community to recognize and ask for the help they or someone they know need. This conference will focus on age and cultural differences in the conditions of mental healthcare in primary care settings; and forthcoming legislation that addresses the US mental health crisis. Given the interactive nature of the presentation and the opportunity for networking with colleagues and our exhibitors, we encourage in-person attendance.
