CECE Event [POSTPONED] – Ages and Stages: Mental Health Throughout the Life Cycle

Ludcke Auditorium (PC)
Portland Campus, Biddeford Campus
Free and open to the public

Emotional, psychological, and social well-being affects how each of us think, feel, and act at every stage of life. For practitioner and patient alike, it can affect our ability to handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Through an interprofessional panel and interactive case, attendees will consider this important element of overall health that impacts everyone, regardless of gender, race, or age.
