Keeping the conversation about mental health in the forefront of people’s minds has been a goal of nonprofit advocates for decades. So the forthcoming “Peace of Mind Conference,” hosted by the PBHA, is geared toward those working in public health, crisis intervention, education, social services, child care, addiction treatment, among other adjacent professions – anyone seeking advice from experts in the field of peer services. The conference will be held in person on October 18th from 10am to 2:30pm at the Xcel Building (790 S Buchanan St., Amarillo) in their conference room.
