S.I.L.V.E.R. AMAs are not presentations, but rather hour-long interactive question & answer webinars with an expert in aging with a psychiatric disability. Regardless of whether you are a person living with a mental health condition, a family member, an administrator of a service, a provider, a researcher — people from anywhere get answers to their questions.
AMA-S webinars are also available as podcasts on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube Music
