the Storm
Call for Papers

The 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

intervention and wraparound supports.
