2023 Veterans Mental Health Summit: Innovative and Collaborative Care Solutions for our Veterans
This year’s summit is dedicated to advancing suicide prevention and access to mental health services for US Military Veterans across the Finger Lakes region. The event will gather key stakeholders from the community and the VA together, to inform strategies to meet the unique mental health needs of our Veteran community. This summit will focus on non-traditional and peer focused means of engagement, as well as offering opportunities to share resources and bridge communication gaps between VA and community services.
This is an in-person event that will take place at Monroe Community College, located at 1000 East Henrietta Road in Rochester NY, 14623. The summit will take place in Building 3, parking is accessible in lot M.
