Speakers Bureau
At St. Joseph Mental Health Center we recognize our responsibility to educate the community on mental health issues. An increased knowledge of these issues will result in a better quality of life for all of us. The Speakers’ Bureau is available for anyone – business and industry; professional, civic, and social clubs; church groups; schools; parent/teacher organizations.
Listed below are the general areas and topics on which our Speaker Bureau staff members can speak. If a topic in which you are interested is not listed, please call us; we may be able to tailor a program to your specific needs. Speakers are highly qualified mental health professionals – physicians, nurses, social workers, psychologists, and activity therapists.
