South Carolina Conference Communications

The Medical University of South Carolina's Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences is hosting a 3-hour workshop on October 10, 2009 that will assist non-medical professionals, such as clergy, recognize signs of mental illness.  This workshop, titled Recognizing Mental Illness for Non-Medical Professionals, will offer insight on neurological disorders, non-psychotic experiences and also sleep-paralysis to professionals such as clergy or pastoral counselors.  These professionals often come into contact with people that are seeking guidance.  With the information learned at this workshop, the clergy may be better equipped to recognize a mental illness or neurological disorder.  I have attached a flyer with more detail as well.

Do you have an email list that you could send this announcement to in order to help promote attendance?  We are really hoping to bring in a large group of professionals from the religious community so that we can have a very open and informative workshop that will benefit all attendees.  I would sincerely appreciate it if you could help spread the word to your ministers and staff.

Thank you so much for your help. If you have any questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact me or visit www.muschealth.com/psychevents.  

Have a great day! J
