Creative Arts & Technology Innovations: Bridging Military and Civilian Communities Through Ethical Mental Health Practice

The creative arts and technological advances are bridges that offer significant contributions to the mental health and resiliency of our military personnel, veterans, and their families.These advances include the capacity to reach huge numbers in need of mental health interventions. Additionally, they provide opportunities to heal the divide within, and between, military and civilian populations. This conference will present many of these applications, and will address ethical issues central to best practices in the use of the creative arts and technology with these populations.
