The 2023 Mental Health America Conference united over 10,000 advocates from around the US and worldwide — our largest gathering in history. Thank you to everyone who helped make it an incredible success.
Our journey together continues. Mark your calendars for the Mental Health America Conference 2024, Sept. 17-21 in Washington, D.C.
Each year, thousands of mental health advocates unite in Washington, D.C., and online for an inspiring week of empowerment and innovation.
From peers to providers, government officials to media, this dynamic group ignites a collective spark, sharing invaluable knowledge and fostering the next wave of advocacy for mental health.
Together, we embark on a journey of exploration to better understand how lived experiences, health equity, and social drivers impact mental health.
The Mental Health America Conference strengthens our commitment and collective efforts to promote well-being, prevent illness, increase resilience, and foster recovery – all at population scale – in line with our strategic plan focused on Next Gen Prevention.
By providing space for meaningful discussions and insight sharing, we aim to develop innovative strategies that address the holistic needs of individuals and communities alike.
