Sept. 13 – 14, 2024
Dallas College Mountain View Campus
We at the Cannenta Foundation are excited to present our annual Hispanic Mental Health Conference.
The Hispanic Mental Health Conference will provide opportunities for mental health professionals from across the state to learn how to serve the growing Hispanic community.
100% of the proceeds of The Hispanic Mental Health Conference will be contributed to the Cannenta Foundation Fund, which goes to support those in our Hispanic community in need of mental health assistance.
The 2024 Hispanic Mental Health Conference offers attendees opportunities to learn about the latest trends in issues and services, share experiences, and build community through relevant keynote speakers, breakout sessions, networking opportunities, and agency exhibits. The 2024 Hispanic Mental Health Conference highlights the incredible work Hispanic mental health professionals provide locally and nationally.
This year's conference promises to be an enriching two-day event featuring distinguished keynote speakers each day. The carefully curated program is designed to provide attendees with uplifting and empowering experiences throughout both days. 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.
