Our goal is to engage in a robust dialogue on ways that we as a community can address the mental health needs of local Veterans and their families. In addition to these new conversations, we will expand on previous discussions to build on the collaborations we have created. The VAMC Chillicothe 2023 MH Summit, along with other community partners will present on topics such as mental health and stigma. It will highlight different areas in which stigma impacts treatment such as mental health, suicide, substance abuse and women. Community agencies will also do presentations to work toward the common goal of providing the best care possible for veterans and engage in partnerships with others.</p><p></p><p>Topics Include:</p><p></p><ul><li>My Life My Story - a program designed for providers and consumers to focus on "person-first" to destigmatize mental health treatment</li><li>Challenges of Women win the Military</li><li>Stigma of Substance Abuse Treatment in Pregnancy</li><li>Language We Use in Suicide Prevention and It's Impact on Reaching Out for Help</li><li>EPIC - *Early Intervention in Psychosis</li><li>Whole Health and demonstration/participation in yoga</li><li>Resources Available in the Community for Veterans and VA Programming</li><li>Vendor Fair and Networking</li></ul><p>The event is open to everyone.
