The Annual Texas Council Conference brings together local, state, and national experts to share perspectives on best practices for integrated health, person directed and recovery-based services, Mental Health First Aid, public policy, peer support, and other promising practices affecting people with serious mental illness, intellectual and developmental disabilities, and substance use disorders.
