Each Spring and Fall Mid-South Health Systems sponsors three Community Workshops. Each workshop offers 5 continuing education credits for social workers, counselors, and nurses who work in mental health settings. These trainings are held in Mid-South's Seminar room at 2707 Browns Lane in Jonesboro. This Spring there will be no charge for our Community Workshops.
