Southeastern Lion Up Recovery to host conference in March

Southeastern Louisiana University is hosting a two-day learning experience for mental health professionals with the 3rd annual Louisiana Recovery Capital Conference March 5 and 6. The conference supports recovery communities across the state through education, collaborations, and advocacy.

“This year the conference will host a variety of topics including substance use and young people, eating disorders and substance use, family dynamics after treatment, and a holistic approach to strengthening families, to name a few,” said Assistant Director of LION UP Recovery CRP and Intervention Annette Baldwin.

Community mental health professionals, faculty, staff and students will also have the opportunity to engage with more than 20 treatment providers for substance misuse and eating disorders at the conference expo, Baldwin added.

The conference offers 12 continuing education hours for licensed professional counselors, and organizers have also applied for continuing education approval for social workers.

“It is important to note that funding from the conference directly supports Lion Up Recovery scholarships, which provide support for students in recovery at Southeastern,” Baldwin explained.
