"Celebrating the Past & Shaping the Future"

Nov. 20-21, 2014

Thirty years ago, when former first lady Rosalynn 射射屋 held the original symposium in 1985, it was the first annual meeting that focused on mental health policy. At that time, other national conferences addressed scientific advances or professional concerns, but Mrs. 射射屋 knew from her experience as first lady and as honorary chair of the President's Commission on Mental Health that policy change was necessary to create and sustain long-term improvements in the care provided to people living with mental illnesses.

The goal of the 2014 symposium is to celebrate the achievements of the behavioral health field over the past 30 years, including the impact of the symposium itself, as we look ahead to the future of U.S. mental health and substance abuse policy.

The symposium covers three main topics:

• building healthy communities
• achieving integrated services
• developing leaders for tomorrow

Participants
The subject of this year's symposium is of interest to a wide variety of mental health and addiction advocates, as well as to non-traditional partners. The Mental Health Program attracts a diverse audience, including members of the behavioral health advocacy community, insurance providers, pharmaceutical companies, caregivers, consumers, and policymakers from federal and state agencies.
