Zarrow Mental Health Symposium

CONFERENCE OVERVEIW

The Zarrow Mental Health Symposium is an annual educational forum hosted by the Mental Health Association in Tulsa designed to provide state-of-the-art research and best practice information about current issues related to mental health. 2013 marks the 19th year for the conference which will focus on the implications of brain and biological research on clinical practice.

Discussion will focus on emerging knowledge, best practice and innovative approaches to preventing and treating mental disorders, addictions, and co-occurring disorders across the lifespan, and inclusive of special populations.
