Taking Action for Wellbeing Conference

Taking Action for Wellbeing Conference

Join the Copeland Center for Wellness and Recovery Taking Action for Wellbeing Conference where we explore the most pressing issues in wellbeing from a personal, professional, and system-wide perspective. We will work on how we are taking action for our wellbeing, how to communicate with those we work with on their recovery journeys, and collaborate on how to enhance systems of care to offer the evidence-based and experiential based approaches that create real change in people's lives!

Hear about the most cutting edge research from top researchers in the field, learn supervision, team building, and leadership skills, and connect with hundreds of people who are also taking action for their wellbeing in a supportive environment driven by our values and ethics.

Be Great! What makes you great!
