The 2025 Health & Human Services Summit will be Thursday, April 3 at the Ocean Center. The Summit is a great opportunity to connect, learn, and collaborate with staff in healthcare, behavioral health, non-profits, government, education, and other mission-driven sectors. Last year, we hosted over 500 attendees, so join us to explore exhibitor booths, participate in trainings, and dive into roundtable discussions.
A current list of exhibitors is found on the Summit Exhibitors page.
The training topics include cybersecurity, collaborative relationship building, Recovery-friendly Workplace, Connecting the Dots: Selfcare in Trauma-saturated Workplaces, and Building Resilience: Mental Health Strategies for Schools. The roundtable discussions will focus on youth in the middle, community resources, and all-abilities (disability support).
