Behavioral Health Conference “The Next 50 Years - Innovation, Integration and Implementation”

Welcome Welcome to the 2015 Kansas Behavioral Health Conference “The Next 50 Years - Innovation, Integration and Implementation” . This event marks the thirty-sixth annual conference and the forth year of a partnership between the Association of Community Mental Health Centers of Kansas (ACMHCK) and the Kansas Association of Addiction Professionals (KAAP).

Each of our organizations values and holds strong to the commitment of serving the mental health and substance abuse needs of the citizens of Kansas. Our strength comes from our members, each one of you, as we all work to improve the lives and health of others.

We want to highlight and express our appreciation to this year’s conference sponsors and we look forward to working with them in partnership throughout the years to come. CMT - Care Management Technologies and Cenpatico, Janssen, Johnson County Mental Health, Kansas Health Solutions, Mid- America ATTC, Netsmart, New Directions, Phrma, Comcare of Sedgwick County, and United Healthcare all joining us in sponsorship.

In the next two and a half days, you will have the opportunity to gain new information, new understandings, and new ways to perform your work. You will also be able to talk to people from around the state, learn from each other, make new connections, meet friends, and re-acquaint with long time colleagues in a relaxed, enjoyable, and meaningful learning environment.

The past several years have been particularly challenging ones in the safety net systems of public mental health and substance abuse, as the State’s financial challenges have led to serious budget cuts which impact service providers and those we serve. The next few years bring a new challenge of finding ways to better coordinate and integrate care across multiple systems. Let us accept that new challenge with an open mind and be innovative in how we accomplish that goal.

We would also like to express our gratitude to service providers and staff who continue to ocusf on providing quality, effective treatment to improve the lives of others and stay true to our missions. We appreciate all you do for those we serve. Enjoy the conference!

Two years after he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder (at 19 years of age), he attempted to take his own life by jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge. He is one of only thirty-four (less than 1%) to survive the fall and he is the only Golden Gate Bridge jump survivor who is actively spreading the message of living mentally healthy around the globe. In 1012, he was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award for his outstanding work as a suicide prevention advocate and speaker by the National Council of Behavioral Health. He has also been recognized by SAMSHA as a Voice Awards Fellow and Award Winner, and Achievement Winner by the US Veterans Affairs, and he has received a Three Star Ma- rine General’s Medal Award in addition to his numerous accolades.Kevin’s will to live and stay mentally well has in- spired people worldwide. His compelling story has touched diverse, global audiences with university campuses, high schools, corporations, clergy, military, clinicians, health and mental communities, law enforcement organizations, and various conferences. Kevin sits on honorary boards of both the international Bipolar Foundation (dedicated to healing from Bipolar Disorder) as well as the BridgeRail Foundation (dedicated to ending suicide at the Golden Gate Bridge). He is currently a member of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline’s Consumer and Survivors Sub-Committee. Kevin was a two term member of San Francisco’s Mental Health Board and has spoken in congressional hearings alongside Patrick Kennedy in support of The Mental Health Parity Bill. He sat on the San Francisco Chapter of the American Foun- dation for Suicide Prevention for one year and helped raise over $30,000 for the AFSP. In the summer of 2013, Kevin released his memoir titles, Cracked Not Broken, The Kevin Hines Story. It has continued to sell out and is on several bestsellers’ lists. His story was featured in the film “The Bridge” by the film director and producer Eric Steel. Thou- sands of people have reached out to him expressing thanks for his message of hope. Kevin believes in the power of the human spirit and in the fact that you can find the ability to live mentally well. Maybe not every day, but certainly most days. His mantra: “Life is a gift, that is why they call it the present. Cherish it always.”
