The Alternative Mobile Services Association annual gathering will be February 7 & 8, 2023 with a conference – our Meet Up. The Meet Up will be virtual for 2023. Early Bird registration – 25% off – opens October 10, 2022.

The Meet Up is mix of live and pre-recorded sessions and keynotes with breakouts to meet colleagues and new friends. The AMSA Meet-Up is for members of AMSA and others planning or operating outreach and mobile services targeted at people who are in crisis, who are homeless, who are traumatized, and who are impacted by addiction or mental illness.

Continuing education credits will be available through the NASW of Oregon – and transferable to every state, and for Oregon peer workers through the Mental Health and Addiction Certification Board of Oregon.
