Boat People SOS in collaboration with George Mason University Center for the Advancement of Public Health presents the
first-ever National Conference of Vietnamese Trauma Survivors and Seniors - former allies of the United States left behind at the end of the Vietnam War!
Held at George Mason University’s Johnson Center from May 24-26, 2007, this conference will unite Vietnamese trauma survivors and seniors
from all over the country to promote access to health, mental health, and support services. With the support of scholars, issue experts,
and service providers, Vietnamese trauma survivors and seniors will identify their own needs and develop a joint action plan to address those needs.
The conference will also offer training to caregivers, mental health professionals, social service providers, government officials,
and representatives of community-based and faith-based organizations on cultural competency and best practices.
Be a part of this exciting 3-day event to benefit from the many workshops and CEU credits offered! Spaces are limited,
so please contact us to make reservations.
