HARTFORD, Conn., Sept. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --
WHAT: Fifth Annual Connecticut Behavioral Health Plan (CT BHP) 'iCan' Conference
WHEN:
Thursday, September 26, 2019
WHERE:
Artists Collective
1200 Albany Avenue, Hartford, CT
WHO: The conference is open to consumers, state health agencies and medical
providers. Numerous provider and consumer exhibitors will be on hand, along
with representatives from the Partnership's state partners, the Department
of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS), the Department of Children
and Families (DCF), and the Department of Social Services (DSS).
HOW: Due to limited space reserve a seat by calling (860) 263-2442 or emailing
CTBHP@beaconhealthoptions.com
WHY: Too many Connecticut families, young adults and youth receiving Medicaid
services cycle in and out of our mental health and addiction systems
because they are not accessing appropriate resources to gain wellness and
self-sufficiency.
The conference showcases the keys to success and the power of partnerships
among Connecticut HUSKY Health consumers, families, medical providers and
state agencies.
The "iCAN" conference is committed to supporting consumers and families to
successfully self-advocate for needed behavioral health services in order
to live their lives to the fullest potential. This year, the conference
will include workshops on Substance Use, Pain Management, and Faith; Young
People Navigating the the Behavioral HealthSystem, State Innovation Models,
and a Spanish-speaking session on Juvenile Justice, Inclusion, and
Belonging.
ABOUT: CT BHP is a Partnership composed of the Department of Mental Health and
Addiction Services (DMHAS), the Department of Children and Families (DCF),
and the Department of Social Services (DSS), with Beacon Health Options as
its administrative services organization.
