NADA Communities of Recovery and Psychological First Aid

NADA Communities of Recovery and Psychological First Aid

The National Acupuncture Detoxification Association is pleased to announce its 22nd annual conference will be held on May 20 - May 21, 2011 in Kansas City, Missouri, with a pre-conference Acu Detox Specialist training May 15-May 21 (includes 2-day conference).

The keynote speaker will be award winning investigative journalist Robert Whitaker, who emerged in 2010 as a leading critic of the drug-based psychiatric health care paradigm. Whitaker will present his research, and will also serve on a conference panel alongside clinicians discussing the use of NADA methods to assist in tapering off of psychiatric medication.

Join us as we continue to expand the service and mission of NADA!
