This year’s theme is Cultural Wealth & Collective Strength: Honoring the Power Within Our Communities.

Join us for a groundbreaking academic conference that places culture at the center of critical dialogue, research, and healing.

The conference offers attendees opportunities to learn about the latest trends in issues and services, share experiences, and build community through relevant speakers, breakout sessions, networking opportunities, and agency exhibits. The 2026 Mental Health Conference highlights the incredible work mental health professionals provide locally and nationally.

This year's conference promises to be an enriching event. The carefully curated program is designed to provide attendees with uplifting and empowering experiences throughout the day. With a commitment to surpassing the success of the previous year, we anticipate that this year's conference will be even more substantial, offering valuable insights and fostering a sense of empowerment for all participants.
