Our Work: Collaboration
AMHCA is committed to a board-based, grassroots organization with wide membership participation. Over the past year, we have developed and deepened alliances and partnerships with other professional organizations and associations to increase AMHCA’ s viability at the local, state, and national levels.
NORTHEAST REGION BIOFEEDBACK SOCIETY( NRBS)
AMHCA and the Northeast Region Biofeedback Society( NRBS) first met in the spring of 2024 to explore a potential partnership. The NRBS conference information was included on the AMHCA newsletter to share with our members. As the president of AMHCA at the time and a member of NRBS, I attended the NRBS 2024 conference last November in Pennsylvania. This year, NRBS in partnership with AMHCA will provide a series of virtual webinars to our members regarding integrative practices in mental health by integrating biofeedback and EEG neurofeedback with mental health practices. Look for more information on this collaboration this Fall.
