Please wait ...

Anxiety, isolation, and self-doubt are shaping a whole generation!

And as social pressures and mental health challenges rapidly continue to rise, too many kids are slipping through the cracks.

To make matters worse, a growing shortage of therapists, long waitlists, and systemic barriers to care make it difficult for young people to access the support they desperately need.

And for you, balancing high demand, complex cases, and limited resources can be overwhelming.

At the 2025 Child and Adolescent Mental Health in Crisis Conference we've brought together some of today's most skilled clinicians to equip you with proven strategies, actionable tools, and expert insights to drive meaningful change!

Join us for a dynamic experience where Drs. Eboni Webb and Chris Willard actively engage in each session—facilitating discussions, and deepening the conversation—alongside an all-star panel of experts, including:

  • Keynote Dan Siegel, world-renowned neuropsychiatrist and New York Times bestselling author
  • Kate Truitt, global authority in the neuroscience of trauma, stress, and resilience
  • Lisa Dion, creator of Synergetic Play Therapy and host of the Lessons from the Playroom podcast
  • Eli Harwood, "The Attachment Nerd", author of Raising Securely Attached Kids
  • Varleisha Lyons, international expert on neuroanatomy, trauma, and self-regulation

Be part of the movement to reshape the future of mental health for youth!
