REGISTRATION IS OPEN !!!
This year the Mental Health America of South Carolina will hold its 57th Annual Meeting on May 13th from 9:00 am to 2:30 pm at Midlands Technical College Airport Campus Academic Center room 143.
The meeting will feature "The Dream Team"- a group who travels the state bringing community based presentations to young people with
an honest discussion about "at-risk" behaviors such as juvenile delinquency, juvenile criminal behavior, school violence, poor anger management, alcohol and drug abuse, mental illness, and poor decision making.
"The Dream Team" is led by Lloyd Hale - a stellar motivational speaker who has turned his life around. "The Dream Team" members represent African American men who are 20-60 years of age. The program is sponsored by SC SHARE.
The MHASC 57th Annual Meeting will also feature a suicide prevention training called QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) presented by Donna Soileau, Mental Health America of SC's Suicide Prevention Coordinator. MHASC has trained over 13,000 individuals in this "Gatekeeper" training to know the signs, communicate positive action, and refer a person to a mental health professional to prevent them taking their life.
We will also present the following awards: "The Volunteer of the Year Award," "The Unstaffed Affiliate of the Year Award," "The Staffed Affiliate of the Year Award," "The Distinguished Service Award," "The Clifford Beers" award and "The Media Award."
