The Symposium
The Mental Health and Addiction Symposium is hosted each year in partnership with the Division of Mental Health and Addiction and the IU Department of Psychiatric Research. The purpose of this full day program is to offer individuals a wide range of behavioral health disciplines in order to discuss the latest advances in psychiatric research and treatment. Participants will learn how the latest research is positively affecting treatment for individuals with mental health and addictive disorders. This year’s Symposium will be hosted on December 9th, 2022 at the Marriott East.
