“Finding Your Piece of the Puzzle” is the theme of NAMI Wood County’s Mental Health Conference Series. This conference will discuss how every person is at a different point in their recovery journey.
Dr. Ken Duckworth, chief medical officer of NAMI National and author of “You Are Not Alone: The NAMI Guide to Navigating Mental Health,” is the conference keynote speaker. The hybrid event is from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday, May 12.
The in-person conference will be held at BGSU Levis Commons, 1655 N. Wilkinson Way, Perrysburg, and will include lunch. The cost to attend in person is $40, and the online cost is $25. There are six continuing education units (CEUs) pending through the Ohio Counselor, Social Worker, and Marriage and Family Therapist Board, including 1.5 Ethic CEUs.
