HARRISBURG, Pa., March 3, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Pennsylvania Recovery Organization – Alliance (PRO-A) and PA Mental Health Consumers' Association (PMHCA) are hosting a statewide conference on Tuesday, September 27, 2016 at the Sheraton Harrisburg Hershey Hotel.

This work will be done through keynote speaker presentations, panel discussions, workshops, a plenary session and networking.
Please join us as we use our lived experience to improve our behavioral health systems and change lives through recovery and new opportunities across our Pennsylvania communities.
