NMFinding Your Light in the Face of the StormCall for PapersThe
Psychosocial Rehabilitation Association of New Mexico (PSRANM) will
hold its 23rd conference on June 10-12, 2015 at the Sheraton
Airport Hotel in Albuquerque. People in recovery, practitioners,
advocates, families and administrators will come together to share
knowledge, skills and values, that promote PSR best practices. This
years theme, Finding Your Light in the Face of the Storm: is
intended to reflect the knowledge that recovery is a wellness
journey in which holding the hope is an essential piece. Whether
one holds their own hope, or someone else temporarily holds the
hope for them, its the power of the belief that things do get
better and change does happen. People in recovery who are creating
their change path have the right to Trauma informed care, safe
affordable housing, behavioral health supports that assist them in
avoiding a life of chronic disease through prevention, early
intervention and wraparound supports.PSRANM seeks enthusiastic and
