MHA Spartanburg continually provides information about mental health, mental illness and seeking treatment. We host an annual Educational Series, with relevant speakers and topics. We also identify and coordinate additional helpful events throughout each year.
2022 Educational Series
Education sessions are held every other month, the second Thursday of the month. Events are free to the public. Or, through our partnership with Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System, social workers and counselors can receive Continuing Education Credits for a $15 fee.
With the unknowns of COVID-19 and its variants, we will continue virtual offerings throughout the 2022 year. Our series will be presented online using the powerful tool Zoom Webinars. Register in advance via the links below, and you will immediately receive additional instructions by email.
We hope you can participate and share these events. Be sure to join our email list and follow us on Facebook for even more promotional details. >> Download Flyer
