Empower Collaboration is a first-of-its-kind national gathering created specifically for behavioral healthcare professionals—those on the frontlines of healing, leadership, and advocacy in mental health, addiction, and wellness. Born out of a collective need for deeper connection, courageous leadership, and sustainable systems of support, this experience offers more than education or networking—it offers restoration.In a field that has been stretched thin by the demands of crisis response, compassion fatigue, and organizational burnout, this event exists as a radical reimagining of what professional gatherings can be. It is a space where vulnerability is valued, innovation is welcomed, and community-driven change is not just discussed, but embodied.Here, professionals gather not just to learn—but to reflect, recharge, and realign with their purpose. It’s an invitation to pause, to share the load, and to co-create a healthier future—for ourselves, for our organizations, and for those we serve.
By drawing from the vast network connections of sponsoring organizations, the empower collaboration aims to feature influential speakers and engaging performers who resonate with the field's values and goals. These guest presenters and entertainers will deliver experiences that encourage growth, innovation, and inspiration among attendees, fostering a culture of leadership and positive change. This approach makes the event highly relevant and dynamic, as content is shaped by leaders within the community who understand the needs and aspirations of those in the behavioral healthcare field.
