Advancing Mental Wellness Through Excellence in Mental Health Care in Persons with Intellectual Disabilities

This year's conference is an opportunity to learn and apply support strategies, program models, and treatment approaches.  An investment, not just an expense! 

The 2009 conference will take place in a city of instant inspiration at the Royal Sonesta Hotel, New Orleans, Louisiana.  The Royal Sonesta Hotel is located in the heart of the French Quarter, with an atmosphere of southern old-world charm and a style of European elegance.  In New Orleans, the blues beat and the jazz melodies mingle in streets with spiced seafood and sweet pralines in the air.  This destination has a great up-beat spirit filled with excitement!  For great activities that are out and about in New Orleans, visit www.neworleanscvb.com, where more information can be found for Plantation, Swamp, Haunted, and Walking Tours to name a few.  Check out a riverboat cruise on the Mississippi, dine in 15 of the best restaurants, all within 3 blocks of the hotel, and celebrate, of course, on Bourbon Street!
