There is a National Mental Health Conference next month in Indianapolis, Indiana June 23-25, 2008 that I would like to attend.
Especially the sessions on chemical dependency, dual diagnosis, and criminal behavior related to chemical dependency. Alot of my law practice involves chemical dependency, chemical impairment, criminal conduct/convictions, and issues related to medication administration, documentation, and handling with nurses. The conference registration is reasonable for a three day conference also.
Its only a 90 minute drive from Cincinnati to Indianapolis anyway.
The conference takes place at the same as the Center for American Nurses Membership Council Meeting www.centerforamericannurses.org and the ANA House of Delegates www.nursingworld.org.
Its a tough choice: attending national professional association governance meetings that get messier and more bizarre with each meeting or attending a conference that has direct applicability to my tri-state law practice. Or is it a tough choice! What would you do?
I already committed myself as a delegate of both organizations to attend when I ran for office in October 2007, so I will be in Washington, D.C.
However, the link for the conference is:
