Healthy Mind, Healthy Body
Traditional and Alternative Healing Practices in Contemporary Portuguese-speaking Communities
Friday, March 22, 2002 at the Cambridge Center Mariott, Cambridge, Massachusetts

Our first MAPS conference was a tremendous success. We had 125 participants at the conference; most were women in the health, mental health, and social service professions.

Below is what some of our participants thought about the conference:

Beautiful and well-organized conference. It was a tremendous experience to be able to navigate and learn more about Portuguese speakers. Thank you.

Very well organized. Great speakers (loud Dr. Benson!). Very important issues discussed. I was able to meet several people with interests similar to mine. Let’s make this conference happen every year!

Thank you for putting together this informative conference. I learned a great deal from the presenters and also from questions and answers. The Cape Verdean dancers were gracious and the music very relaxing.

Great performers. Congratulations to MAPS and to all involved in putting together this conference. Job done right the first time! Well done!!
