2025 WA Behavioral Healthcare Conference

Don't miss this opportunity come together with others in the behavioral health community to share best practices about life-saving treatment and supports, and to feel inspired about being the helpers. Although our state and nation face new uncertainties, the need for behavioral health services and resiliency is higher than ever. Our focus remains on the vital importance of expanding access to behavioral health care, including community-based treatment and peer support services. We must continue to address the effects of structural racism and include new and diverse voices who are essential to helping shape our path forward and meeting the needs of all Washingtonians.
