Save the date. Collective Conversations: Setting Hope in Motion returns Monday, May 10 and Tuesday, May 11, 2027, at The Center Club in Baltimore.
Every profession brings an important perspective to the work of supporting the mental health and well-being of children, families, and communities. And no one profession has all the answers.
Collective Conversations brings together professionals from across healthcare, behavioral health, education, child welfare, law enforcement, victim services, legal systems, prevention, research, policy, and community organizations to learn from one another and explore the challenges we share.
New this year: An Evening of Connection & Conversation, a reception on Monday, May 10 from 6:00 to 8:00 PM.
The Call for Speakers opens today and closes October 28. We are looking for presenters willing to share what they have learned, whether that is an innovative program, emerging research, a practical strategy, a difficult lesson, or a promising idea. Proposals are welcome across six interest pathways: Clinical Practice & Treatment, Community Response & Prevention, Justice, Protection & Advocacy, Systems & Leadership, Research & Innovation, and Professional Practice & Sustainability.
