Budget cuts, the economy, and competing priorities in the world of healthcare and mental health are creating a ripe climate for moral distress in patients and professionals. The results can challenge your integrity, compassion, and your organizational mission. This conference addresses the ethics of caring for yourself and others, provides a public policy update, reminds you that what’s good for the body is good for the brain, and lifts the curtain so you can Jam Away the Blues.
