  • EQUITY IN PRACTICE FORUM

    This one-day forum brings together practice owners to explore innovative strategies for building sustainable, equitable, and impactful private and group practices. In this all Latine panel, participants will engage in two interactive panels:

    • Examine how class-conscious frameworks and economic justice inform clinical and business structures
    • Learn legal, financial, and marketing strategies, including MWBE certification
    • Gain practical tools for creating practices that prioritize client care, practitioner sustainability, and collective impact

    Who Should Attend: Private practice owners, clinicians, and students in mental health and human services looking to expand their impact, strengthen their practices, and integrate justice-centered frameworks.

    Participants leave informed, empowered, and confident to pursue sustainable practice growth through contracts, partnerships, and mission-driven strategies.

  • Save Your Seat — Build in Community

    This gathering is intentionally intimate and space is limited to ensure a grounded, community-centered experience rooted in equity, accessibility, and shared learning. We are bringing together practice owners, clinicians, organizers, and students who are deeply aligned with justice-centered work and committed to building practices that care for both the communities they serve and the people doing the work.
