Attorney General Ashley Moody To Address Florida Behavioral Health Conference
The annual Florida Behavioral Health Conference kicks off on Wednesday, August 21 at 9:15 a.m. in Orlando with the launch of the newly formed Florida Behavioral Health Association (FBHA), which is a consolidation of two long-standing, respected organizations, the Florida Alcohol and Drug Abuse Association and the Florida Council for Community Mental Health.
