The Conference Center is located at 550 Alumni Lane on the university campus.
Other organizations have scheduled free online mental health events for January and February. On January 28, Trained Minds, Inc. will hold Rethinking Mental Health. The three-hour workshop is intended to enable participants to spot distress-causing experiences, understand the continuum of health care and become aware of how culture and environment impact mental health. The event begins at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Standard Time. Places at the virtual event can be reserved via Eventbrite.
On February 2, the Mindspring Mental Health Alliance will host a one-hour online seminar with Jaymi Dormaier, a licensed master social worker. Dormaier will explain mental health, categories of mental illness and ways of treating mental illness.
The free seminar will begin at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Standard Time. Those who register for the event at Eventbrite will have access to a recording of the seminar and a guide to resources the following day.
