Submit a presentation proposal for the 2025 WA Behavioral Healthcare Conference!

The annual Washington Behavioral Healthcare Conference (WBHC) brings together a diverse group of presenters to share information about therapeutic interventions, recovery supports, promising programs, and policies that advance best practices. Our goal is to provide a learning experience that expands professional knowledge, promotes community partnerships, and helps make recovery a reality. We’re interested in sessions that are practical, replicable, and relevant to our attendees. We anticipate over 650 attendees in Kennewick—this is a great opportunity to share your knowledge and experience, and inspire others!

As a presenter at the 2025 WBHC, you’ll gain visibility and have the opportunity to interact with a broad audience. Conference attendees include clinical staff, program managers, people with lived experience, family members, peers, nonprofit staff, and staff of system partners and state agencies including the Health Care Authority, Department of Health and Human Services, and the Department of Corrections.

Each proposal chosen will receive a complimentary conference registration and one night hotel accommodations for each presenter (up to the limit of speakers as noted on the following pages). Travel expenses and per diem are not provided.

Proposals are due on Thursday, December 5, at 11:59 p.m.
