Online Seminars

Through the Lunch and Learn series offered by the Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (OMHSAS), we keep informed of what the OMHSAS mental health community stakeholders and consumers are doing to support resiliency and recovery in our mental health system.

Lunch and Learns are seminars on topics pertinent to individuals, families, and supporters in mental health recovery and are valuable tools that promote, support, and encourage continued growth and awareness of personal and collective strength and resiliency.

Several Lunch and Learn seminars have been presented by Pennsylvania Mental Health Consumers' Association staff. They cover various areas of recovery, services, cultures, and personal stories.
