Call for presenters: Submit your proposal for the 2026 Youth Network Wellness Summit
We are excited to announce the Call for Presenters for our upcoming 2026 Wellness Summit, themed "Rooted in Healing." Presenter interest and proposals are due by Friday, February 20.
This year, we are dedicated to creating a dynamic and transformative experience that bridges healing, innovation, and community. If you or someone you know has a session idea that aligns with our vision, we would be honored to connect.
We are seeking proposals for interactive and innovative sessions designed to engage and inspire two key audiences:
- Youth and young adults exploring their wellness journeys.
- Behavioral health professionals, peer supporters, and those working in healing-centered spaces who empower them.
Whether you have a hands-on workshop, a creative dialogue, an experiential activity, or a forward-thinking presentation, we welcome ideas that are:
- Engaging and participatory – sessions that invite collaboration, movement, or creativity.
- Fresh and actionable – approaches that offer new tools, strategies, or perspectives for healing and support.
- Rooted in lived experience and expertise – especially from those working directly in behavioral health, peer support, and youth wellness.
Innovative workshops will be 45 minutes; interactive workshops will be an hour. Plan your session presenter submissions accordingly.
Important note from SPARK (organizer): As part of our commitment to honoring the time, energy, and expertise of our presenters, we are actively working to offer a monetary gift to all selected speakers. While details are still being finalized, we believe it is essential to recognize and value the lived and professional wisdom shared at the summit.
