VIRTUAL CONFERENCE

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 28 & THURSDAY, APRIL 29, 2021

ABOUT THIS YEAR'S CONFERENCE:

Due to the continued need for caution stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, CMHACY’s conference is going virtual again in April 2021. We will be continuing the conversation of our 2020 conference theme, Voices for Equity Inclusion & Access which addressed systemic racism head on at a moment when America was again forced to confront the institutional racism of its present services, and seeing with a clearer focus how that has challenged us for real change.

We will come together again in the midst of this nationwide reckoning on race, to address how the lack of racial equity and justice in our social services and healthcare systems has dramatically harmed communities of color. The CMHACY conference will present engaging workshops, panels, and powerful keynote speakers from across the state that will highlight meaningful avenues of change. This conference will empower attendees to learn about – and methods to create and maintain racial and social justice within our systems of care. , We encourage all potential sponsors and supporters to join us in creating a unified voice to demand social and health justice for all.
