This conference brings together community partners, behavioral health professionals, mental health advocates, providers, organizations, service members, veterans, and their families to learn, collaborate, and share evidence-based strategies that promote mental health and well-being.

• Day 2 is dedicated to Service Members, Veterans, and Their Families (SMVF), highlighting the unique strengths, challenges, and experiences of military-connected communities while exploring strategies, resources, and partnerships that support suicide prevention and mental wellness.

Throughout the conference, attendees will have the opportunity to hear from expert speakers, participate in engaging breakout sessions and evidence-informed trainings, discover resources available across Georgia, earn training certifications, and connect with professionals and organizations committed to making a lasting impact.
