Abstract	This document focuses on the theme that rapid social and technological changes add urgency to continuing education in all fields, particularly in the field of mental health. For the purposes of this conference, continuing education was defined to include postgraduate education, staff development, inservice training, and adult education. For these purposes, mental health was defined to include health promotion and illness prevention and treatment and the business of families, communities, States and nation, even while the ultimate focus is upon individuals. Broad objectives of the conference included: (1) to identify continuing education needs; (2) to suggest priorities, or methods, which administrators could use to arrive at appropriate objectives for their organizations; and (3) to provide mental health administrators and educators greater familiarity with continuing education expertise which is available. The following major points of emphasis characterized the conference: (1) diversity of resources and concerns for continuing education in mental health, (2) unusually broad definitions of continuing education and mental health, and (3) involvement of the adult learner in the process of assessing needs. Highlights of the conference evaluation indicate that there were individual extremes of praise and dissatisfaction, and that considerable participant learning occurred. (Author/CK)
