Transitions: The Good, The Bad, The Effective
TN-NADD 2010 Conference co-sponsored with Cross Country Education
September 23-24, 2010
Radisson Hotel at Opryland, Nashville, Tennessee
As President of the Tennessee Chapter of the National Association for the Dually Diagnosed (TN-NADD), I invite you to participate in our Annual Conference: Transitions: The Good, The Bad, The Effective. This year's program is the most diverse of any of our annual conferences to date. Our expert presenters explore the multiple dimensions of transitions, including the psychological changes that people and their families encounter across developmental stages, the challenges faced by persons as they transition from one support system to another and the realities of services that are downsizing.
Established in 1988, TN-NADD is dedicated to the advancement of mental wellness for persons with developmental disabilities through the promotion of excellence in mental health care. We would like to continue to bring you opportunities for learning. However, our membership needs to grow. I encourage you to contact www.thenadd.org and enjoy these membership benefits:
