Since the first annual community mental health conference was held nearly a quarter century ago, the focus each year has been on bringing together mental health and other professionals, those with lived experience, and the public into timely, meaningful discussions about mental health issues and developments in the field that affect them, their families, and their friends and neighbors.

Save the date, Saturday, May 16, 2026 for our next conference, focusing on Loneliness.
