CONFERENCE INFO:
Continuing its history of excellent trainings and conferences, BISC-MI offers you a stimulating day, learning about how mental health issues impact our work in the domestic violence arena. Mental health issues can make assessments more difficult, diminish accountability and interfere with group dynamics.

Mental health experts will defi ne and discuss several mental health diagnoses and issues. This will be followed by domestic violence professionals who will then lead open discussions to help us think more deeply about the topics and how we can better apply them to our work.
