We’re in Carbondale, Illinois today for the Southern Illinois Behavioral Health Summit! We’ve already had lots of interest in the CADC Workforce Expansion Grant and have been able to share our literature about the gambling and peer certifications as well. Many of our behavioral health partners, who provide services to the great people of Southern Illinois, are exhibiting too.

If you’re at SIU, Carbondale today—be sure to stop by!
