Dear Potential Case Management Conference
Presenter!
Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic,
along with the Pennsylvania Office of Mental Health and
Substance Abuse Services, is pleased to announce the “18th
Annual Pennsylvania Case Management Conference”. The
conference will be held June 18, 2010 at Robert Morris
University, Moon Township, PA. The theme of this coming
year’s conference is "Beyond
Diversity: Fostering Inclusion in Case Management Practice".
We are sending this “call for papers” to
potential presenters who can contribute their expertise and make
this a valuable educational and networking opportunity for the
200 professionals, consumers and family members who will attend.
We therefore invite all of you to submit conference workshop
proposals that promote inclusion in case management practices
and strive towards creating effective methods to enhance
communication and create environments where everyone feels,
included, valued and respected.
Within this framework, we are looking for
workshops that address building common ground in providing
mental health services, psychiatrist and consumer partnerships,
single point of accountability, medical co morbidity, housing,
social inclusion, cultural competencies, and spirituality. All
workshop proposals must address the topic of inclusion in their
descriptions.
We will be happy to waive the conference
tuition fee for the primary presenter in your workshop only.
Tuition for co-presenters, as well as, all presenters’
travel, accommodations and non-conference meals will not be
covered. The primary presenter of each accepted proposal
will be notified by letter prior to the production of a
conference brochure to confirm the date and time of the accepted
workshop. All presenters need to register for the conference.
If you are interested in presenting a
workshop, please download the workshop
proposal form and email or fax (email:
slappojm@upmc.edu or FAX: 412-802-6910) it to our office no
later than November 13, 2009.
You are welcome to share this information with colleagues who
might be interested as well. If you require further
information, please contact the conference coordinator Maria
Peña-Jordan at
penajordanmi@upmc.edu or at 412-802-6917.
With your help, we look forward to another
successful and enjoyable conference.
