Please join NTTAC for a free, hour-long webinar featuring Certified Peer Counselor Evelyn Clark and motivational teacher, mentor, and advocate Javen Pitt.
The presenters will discuss “non-traditional” strategies and approaches for maintaining mental health and well-being outside of “traditional” clinical approaches, and they will provide insights for how one might implement those strategies in their own work/life. During the Q&A, audience members are encouraged to ask questions of the featured speakers about the presentation’s topic or anything else related to their mental health services and work.
