BNC Events & Outreach
We host regular in-person and virtual tours, re-occurring events designed to keep you informed about our current and future efforts, and events to celebrate the successes of our clinicians, staff, and clients. Our staff can also present at your organization on a variety of mental health related topics.
Attending Bert Nash Center events is a great way to join our community, advocate for better behavioral health care in our community, and to meet likeminded people with a passion for whole-person care.
