The concurrent rise in depression and substance abuse issues has ignited conversation about mental health and destigmatized diagnosis and treatment. Psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioners are urgently needed to provide a holistic approach to mental and behavioral healthcare.

Please consider making a gift to the Lois Price Spratlen Foundation when you register.
