and you’ll gain fresh insights into:

Breaking Down Silos

Move beyond traditional boundaries between disciplines and departments. Connect with mental healthcare professionals across specialties—from primary care physicians and psychiatrists to social workers, pharmacists, and community health advocates—to create truly integrated care approaches.

Creating Networks

Whether you're seeking mentorship, building your team, or expanding your professional network, engage with fellow healthcare leaders who share your commitment to mental health and social determinants of health. Build lasting partnerships that extend beyond the summit.

Sparking Innovation

Exchange evidence-based practices, explore creative solutions to complex challenges, and gain fresh perspectives on integrated care delivery. Learn from street medicine pioneers, community advocates, and those with lived experience to transform how we approach mental health & substance use disorders
