The "Innovation in the Cost-Appropriateness of Behavioral Health and Wellness," is a focused networking event that has presented the business case, from diverse views, to corporate senior management and health plans to invest in quality behavioral health and health promotion. Expert keynotes lay out salient issues and numerous case studies provide examples of real world experience in executive seminars. Now entering its 3rd year, the conference will further develop the linkages between behavioral health and wellness and the practical "how to" side of creating and implementing successful programs with innovative attendee interaction. A networking reception offers close contact with decision makers and business leaders.

- Evaluate Protective Factors for Health and Well Being on Reduced Consumption of Medical Services
