Policy Institute Agenda

The following schedule is preliminary and subject to change.

This complimentary, invitation-only program will be held on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, from 1:00–5:00 p.m. ET at the Capital Hilton in Washington, DC.

Curated to elevate policy discussions, the event will explore strategies and policies to support and strengthen the behavioral health workforce across states, including projected shortages, education and training challenges, retention, and the role of technology in culturally responsive care. As mental health needs continue to rise, especially among young people, conversations about access to services must also address the workforce needed to deliver care. States and federal initiatives are beginning to address these issues with innovative policies, and we look forward to exploring these topics together on October 6.
