A DIVERSE ARRAY OF TALKS
IMGP8224 copyA hallmark of The Lowcountry Mental Health Conference is the presentation format. We offer a wide variety of unique talks that are 60-90 minutes in length. Our intent is to keep attendees interest through shorter talks while focusing on themes that will directly benefit practicing clinicians. We want to share talks that will touch the audience and help them to grow in their work!

Dr. Amishi Jha shared her cutting edge work on “Building Resilience Through Mindfulness”, Dr. Christine Pelic spoke on “Working With Challenging Patients”, and Brian Coon explored “The Future of Addiction”. Dr. Kenneth Coll was also back by popular demand and shared a passionate talk on “Therapeutic Work With Military Members”.

THE CONFERENCE GROWTH CONTINUES
The Charleston Music Hall has been our home for the past two years, and they have been incredible partners! In 2016, we have found ourselves needing a bigger space for the conference due to the overall demand. We were fortunate enough to find an opportunity with the newly renovated Gaillard Performance Hall. The Gaillard offers us a state of the art performance hall and exhibitor gallery that gives us an opportunity to grow at all levels.
