About the conference:
Recovery and resiliency enables a person, whether an adult, youth, or family who lives with mental health challenges, to become active partners in finding and maintaining their own wellness. Remembering who you are and using your strengths to become all you were meant to be is what recovery is all about. Resiliency is an innate capacity that when nurtured empowers a person to successfully meet life?s challenges with a sense of self-determination, mastery and hope.
King County is pleased to present this conference highlighting the expertise within King County.? Both of the keynote addresses are by local experts in behavioral health recovery who present nationally and internationally.?
