Cultivating Rightful Presence Symposium

Join us for the second annual Community Care in Action Symposium, a one-day immersive conference bringing together mental health providers, educators, medical professionals, community advocates, and policymakers to explore what it truly means to cultivate rightful presence—where every person’s dignity, voice, and belonging are centered in systems of care.

This year’s theme, “Cultivating Rightful Presence,” invites us to move beyond inclusion as a concept and into action—creating environments where clients, families, and professionals are not merely seen but valued as integral contributors to healing communities. Together, we’ll examine how belonging can transform therapy rooms, schools, hospitals, and organizations into spaces that restore justice and foster hope.

What You Will Learn

Through inspiring keynotes, interactive breakout sessions, and cross-sector panels, participants will:

  • Reimagine care through the lens of equity, voice, and shared power

  • Learn practical strategies for embedding dignity in clinical and organizational practices

  • Build partnerships across disciplines to create community-based systems of belonging

  • Earn up to 7 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) while connecting with peers who believe in collective care

Let’s continue the movement toward healing-centered, justice-rooted community care,
where presence is not granted, but cultivated together.
