2026 Fall Virtual Forum
This year’s Fall Virtual Forum—"From Insight to Impact: Hard Conversations, Honest Dialogue, Collective Action" on November 4th - November 5th,
will focus on turning critical reflection into responsible practice and
conversation into change. In today’s mental health and social work
landscape, insight alone is no longer enough.
From
Insight to Impact is a Fall Virtual Forum designed to move beyond
surface-level dialogue and into meaningful engagement with the realities
shaping our field. Across two days of keynotes, plenaries, and breakout
sessions, participants
will engage in the hard conversations that too often remain in unspoken
conversations about power, bias, harm, accountability, and the
sustainability of our work.
Through
structured dialogue, reflective practice, and solution-oriented
exchange, participants will be challenged to examine not only the
systems they work within, but also their individual and collective roles
in shaping them. This is
a space where honesty is expected, complexity is acknowledged, and
discomfort is recognized as part of professional growth.
The
forum emphasizes a clear throughline: insight must lead to impact.
Attendees will leave not only with deeper understanding, but with a
renewed commitment to actionable change within their organizations,
their practice, and the broader
systems of care.
