Share your insight and connect with international peers

A Global Conference for Sexuality Research, Education, and Clinical Practice

The 2017 ABSC International Lecture Series will be a sequence of lectures presented by
some of the leading researchers, clinicians, and educational practitioners in the
mental-health and human-services field. The series will involve presentations on health
disparities, mental health, social justice, and a variety of cross-cultural issues that
affect persons of African descent. This initiative will allow professional leaders to
contribute to the global community and empower those who may not have the
opportunity to benefit from international, transformative work.
