BHE One-Day Summit

BHE hosted a one-day summit, “Hot Topics: Trends and Challenges in Behavioral Healthcare” on Friday, October 25, 2024, at the Queen Lane Campus in Philadelphia.

We had a wonderful array of educational content that addressed topics such as ethnoracial psychopharmacology, LGBTQI youth, behavioral addictions, ethics and burnout.
