“I’m not an easy rater. I am not one of those people that just checks all the highest ratings because I’m lazy. These are sincere ratings. This conference surpassed my expectations. I was expecting a small, local conference, and what I got was a first-class, top-notch conference. It was great.”

“[I] appreciated how well organized and structured the program was. Enjoyed the large group opening and lunchtime sessions, and being able to choose among a variety of panel sessions. Great presenters and vendors.”

“The conference reaffirmed for me that people working in mental health and education continue to move forward, doing the best they can with available resources and laws. I also appreciated hearing about new initiatives, changes in laws and the [stories of the speakers] —they were so inspiring—I was so touched by their stories.”

Mental Health IS Physical Health!

Mental health is often thought of as separate from physical health – but this is simply not true! Just as the lungs and heart are part of the body, the brain is also part of our physical body – and thus the truth is that mental health is physical health!

Our 2019 conference highlighted top-notch keynote speakers such as Karen Lankford, Ph.D. from Yale University; Manya Chylinkski, M.S. and Victim Advocate of Alley 424 Communications as well as a survivor of the Boston Marathon Bombing; Brian Sims, M.D. Senior Medical Advisor for the NASMHPD; Randal Fox, M.Ed. and Director of PA Center for Safe Schools, and Nick Jaworski, B.S., CEO of Circle Social Inc.

We’re also thrilled to launch our Call to Action: Equality! Equity! Justice! – a nationwide campaign to address the injustices that are still experienced throughout America. Learn more about the Call to Action by clicking here!
