Millions of people in the U.S. are affected by mental illness each year. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused depression, anxiety, and loneliness to spike around the world, at a time when, according to the World Health Organization, many countries are experiencing disruptions and cutbacks in mental health services.

Mental health illness and substance use disorders affect people of all ages and demographics and are extremely burdensome to society and socioeconomic costs. More than one in four adults living with serious mental health problems also has a substance use problem. Because of this, behavioral health integration and management has moved to the forefront as the healthcare industry strives to advance the coordination of behavioral healthcare services and implementation of integration initiatives to improve access to treatment.

This conference will bring together some of the leading national experts responding to this ever-increasing public health crisis to provide insights on policy, operations, and management of mental health strategies to reduce the impact of mental and substance use disorders on America’s communities. Join your peers to shape the future of mental health and hear how to address the opioid epidemic, collaboration with community partners, treating co-occurring disorders, value-based care, workplace wellness, social determinants, managing mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic, and more.
