We are very excited to be presenting this year’s conference in Boston in a progressive mental health services environment and in one of the oldest and most vibrant cities in the United States. The ACT Conference, a truly unique and one-of-akind experience, continues to be the premiere educational and networking event for the providers and users of comprehensive, community-based, and integrated services, family members, administrators, educators, researchers, and mental health policy makers. This year, over 100 presenters from across the nation and around the world will share their experiences and expertise in ACT, presenting on a wide variety of topics in some 70 meetings, preconference trainings, workshops, and institutes. Due to the number of excellent presentation proposals received by the committee, for the second consecutive year, there will be two sets of afternoon breakout sessions following the conference’s opening address on Wednesday. We are most pleased to present our Plenary Speakers. Antonio Lambert, Training Manager for Recover Resources, ACT program start-up consultant, and Peer Support Specialist will give the Opening Plenary on Wednesday afternoon, ACT Means Action! Mr. Lambert will share his personal story of recovery and discuss his commitment to the ACT model. As a result of his remarkable recovery journey and contributions to mental health and substance abuse services, Mr. Lambert was recently the subject of a feature story in the New York Times. He has also been featured in other news, mental health and popular publications. Sam Tsemberis, CEO of Pathways to Housing, will present the Closing Plenary on Friday morning, speaking about “Act Then and Now”, and his interview with Len Stein. Others who have worked with and heard these men present attest to their passion and commitment to helping those with serious and persistent mental illness. Located in the heart of historic Back Bay, The Boston Park Plaza Hotel & Towers is one of Boston’s most recognized and renowned landmarks. The Boston Park Plaza is a member of Historic Hotels of America and opened in March, 1927 as part of the E.M. Statler Empire. With an unsurpassed location, the hotel is located only 3 miles from Logan International Airport and only 200 yards from the nation’s first public parks, the Boston Common & the Public Garden. The hotel is easily accessible to shopping along world renowned Newbury Street, Faneuil Hall Marketplace and the Theatre & Financial Districts. The amenities at the hotel include Full-Service Concierge, 24 Hour Room Service, a Fitness Center, and several in-house restaurants and bars. Over 600 of us gathered last year in beautiful Huntington Beach, California and nearly 16,000 people have attended previous ACT Conferences over the past 27 years. You will leave this conference feeling renewed and inspired to continue helping people diagnosed with serious mental illness in their journey of empowerment and recovery. We hope to see you in Boston, Massachusetts in May!
