NATCON18: FOR THOSE WHO DO GOOD

Thought-provoking speakers. Real-world solutions. A chance to network with new colleagues and old friends. Each year, you tell us how much you appreciate what NatCon offers ? we love the feedback and are using it to make NatCon18 bigger and better than ever!

But sometimes you worry that you love NatCon too much. As one past attendee, who said she felt "energized" by the experience, nonetheless added, "The fanfare felt at odds given the conditions and challenges my patients face."

We've heard these concerns before, but as those who make it our business to care for our nation's health and wellbeing, if we think we deserve less ? we may pass that downtrodden attitude along to the very people we seek to uplift.

Everything about the National Council conference is done to honor you. There is plenty of time for hard work, but precious little time to recharge. Join us for NatCon18 and be energized for the long road ahead. You deserve it.

HILL DAY Wednesday, April 25, 2018

Become part of a national groundswell supporting enlightened health policy at Hill Day 2018. Join your NatCon18 colleagues as we go to Capitol Hill and speak in one voice to champion the interests of Americans living with mental illness and addictions.

Whether you're a veteran on Capitol Hill or a first-timer, advocacy training from the National Council's expert policy staff will ensure you're well-prepared for your visits.

? Take a deep-dive into advocacy training at a free half-day Preconference University on Sunday, April 22.

Or

? Make it part of the NatCon experience and attend the Hill Day Track throughout the conference.

The National Council for Behavioral Health is the unifying voice of America's health care organizations that deliver mental health and addiction treatment and recovery services.
