Mental health is a critical issue that affects individuals, families, and entire communities. Across Long Island and beyond, people face persistent barriers to accessing mental health care — from stigma and systemic inequities to provider shortages and cultural disconnects.

The National Mental Health Conference on the East End is a collaborative initiative uniting community-based organizations, professionals, and advocates to advance mental wellness for all. Rooted in education, inclusion, and action, this conference will spotlight innovative approaches to care, promote holistic well-being, and provide tools to navigate the challenges impacting diverse communities.

This annual gathering offers space for connection, healing, and professional growth. Participants will engage in dynamic sessions focused on trauma-informed care, culturally responsive practices, and mental health equity — all while earning Continuing Education (CE) credits for eligible sessions.
