Professionals who work in all scopes of mental health — promotion, prevention, intervention, or leadership — are warmly invited to join us September 18-19 at Lake Junaluska Retreat and Conference Center in Lake Junaluska, NC (Haywood County, near Waynesville, NC) for connection, relationship-building, and professional learning. We will rejuvenate and be inspired as we enhance our capacity to continue the crucial work of supporting young children’s mental health across sectors and systems.

Conference Objectives:
