We’re excited to announce that Paton Blough just have received notice that his workshop proposal was accepted for the CIT International conference this fall in Monterey, California! Lieutenant Owens from the GPD and Fred Riddle from NAMI will be presenting with Paton on “How to Turn Tragedy Into Success”.
CIT International and Monterey County Behavioral Health will be hosting the 2014 CIT International Conference. This year’s conference will prove to be another exciting meeting that brings informative national speakers, a variety of workshops, a time to develop or improve your CIT programs and the opportunity to network and learn from others.
Raised in Alaska, Paton Blough is a mental health advocate and speaker based in Greenville, SC.
Affected with Bipolar I Disorder, Blough works tirelessly as a voice for everyone who has dealt firsthand with the weight of the stigma surrounding mental illness.
Paton is living proof that with support and appropriate treatment, those suffering from mental illness can overcome their issues and lead healthy, happy lives.
