Keynote announcement: We are thrilled to welcome Dee Hankins to Stronger Together 2026.

After 18 years in the foster care system, Dee became a cycle breaker. His keynote brings lived experience, hard-won perspective, and a message about rising after trauma that will resonate deeply with everyone in this field.

Dee's keynote will open the conference with a perspective that makes everything that follows feel more urgent and more meaningful. 80 sessions. 5 tracks. Three days to take what you hear and turn it into something real when you get back home.

Early bird pricing for the 2026 California Child and Family Services Conference closes in just a few days. If you have been waiting to register, this is your sign.

Five Days. That is all the time left to register for Stronger Together 2026 at the early bird rate.

After May 25, the best available pricing for California's largest gathering of child and family welfare professionals is gone. The people and organizations doing the most important work in this field will be in Anaheim on August 31, and the time to make sure you are one of them is right now.

80+ sessions. Five tracks. CE credits across 8 licensure types. 800+ professionals from every county in California. A program built for every role on your team, from the frontline to the executive suite.

Lock in the early bird rate before May 25 and book your room at the same time. The hotel sold out last year. Do not let logistics be the reason you miss this.

The work our field does has never been easy. But now, the pressures on child and family services organizations across California are mounting. Funding uncertainty. Workforce challenges. Policy shifts that affect how we deliver care.

That is why we are more committed than ever to Stronger Together 2026. When we come together as a field, we do not just share knowledge. We remind each other that we are not facing this alone.

We hope to see you in Anaheim, August 31 through September 3. Early bird pricing ends May 25.

We’re proud to be part of a larger community working toward healthier, more connected communities across California.

Events like Mental Health Matters Day remind us how powerful collaboration can be when organizations, advocates, and community members come together around a shared commitment to well-being and prevention.

Thank you to Mental Health America of California (MHAC) for bringing together so many passionate people and creating space for meaningful conversations around mental health, healing, and support.

We’re grateful to have been part of it alongside our programs and partners — including Open Doors Training !
