Ignite: Third Annual Behavioral Health Conference
Trauma to Transformation: Understanding What drives it. Transforming how we treat
it.
March 11 and 12, 2027
The Ignite for Behavioral Health conference is hosted by the LSU School of Medicine Psychiatry residency program, Genesis, and The Maples with the goal of providing quality training for our local mental health providers, but also to raise funds to support the residency program.
The conference will be held this year at Pennington Biomedical Research Center and we have been planning an exciting line up of speakers and topics.
We are planning for our program to include 7.5 hours of presentations on Thursday and 3 hours of Ethics training on Friday morning. You will be able to register for one or both sessions.
