The idea of working smarter, not harder is not a new concept and something most strive to accomplish in their personal and work life. But that’s no easy task! The 6th annual WV Behavioral and Mental Health Technical Assistance Center Conference can help you to meet that task by offering focused sessions on establishing systems, enhancing skills, and empowering people. During the two days of professional learning, county and state leaders, administrators, school faculty and staff (preschool-secondary) will have opportunities to network, interact with leadership teams, access resources, and share in the excitement of the hard work that is being done in our great state.
