WHY THIS GATHERING EXISTS
Education that changes how we practice.
Black communities face documented disparities in mental health access, diagnosis, and outcomes — and most continuing education barely touches it. The Black Mental Health Symposium was built to close that gap.
Over multiple days of keynotes, clinical workshops, and research presentations, you’ll gain practical, culturally responsive approaches you can use in session the following week — while earning the approved CE hours your license requires.
WHO ATTENDS
Four audiences, one mission.
Clinicians
Counselors, social workers, and therapists seeking culturally responsive clinical skills and approved CE.
Researchers
Scholars presenting and discovering the evidence base shaping Black mental health care.
Students
Graduate students presenting research and building first professional networks in a supportive room.
Advocates
Community leaders and policy advocates turning awareness into access and systemic change.
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
Three days. Career-long impact.
Keynotes that reframe the field
National leaders in Black mental health bring research, lived expertise, and direction for the decade ahead.
CE workshops you can use Monday
Clinical breakouts on culturally responsive assessment, treatment, ethics, and community-based care — every session CE-approved.
Student research showcase
The next generation presents — and the field listens. Mentorship, feedback, and first bylines happen here.
