MHB Staff to Present at National Conference
Allyce Bullock, Project Director for Vulnerable Populations, will be delivering a presentation at the National Center for Victims of Torture Institute on “Funding Community Training Programs". This national conference is being held January 29-31 in New Orleans. Persons from 29 agencies which serve survivors of torture from across the country will be attending. Allyce will present information on how to develop financially efficient and effective training programs utilizing the experiences gained here in St. Louis through MHB's CANA and Survivors projects. She will also exhibit the DVD - "Hope for Survivors of Torture in St. Louis" which she helped to develop, as a example of an outreach tool. Allyce will address the costs for production, effort and time resources required, results of sharing the video with service providers, and lessons learned.
Copies of the DVD are available at no charge through the Mental Health Board to agencies and persons working with immigrants and refugees.
