Annual Behavioral Health Conference

The Annual Behavioral Health Conference, hosted by the Colorado Behavioral Healthcare Council (CBHC), is recognized as Colorado's largest gathering focused on behavioral health, drawing hundreds of participants from various sectors. This event attracts behavioral health specialists, members of the state and criminal justice systems, physical health providers, and university students, making it a premier platform for discussing best practices in clinical care and business operations within the behavioral health field.This year's conference theme, 'Meeting the Moment for Communities,' addresses the increasing complexities in behavioral health needs amid tightening resources. As systems evolve and expectations shift, many professionals face the challenge of doing more with less while supporting individuals, families, and communities in crisis. Rather than avoiding these realities, the conference aims to foster collaboration, reflection, and actionable learning as attendees collectively explore how to meet these challenges responsibly and with care. Participants will have the opportunity to earn continuing education credits through exceptional training sessions and will benefit from networking opportunities with peers in a supportive environment. The conference is open to everyone passionate about advancing the field, whether they are seasoned professionals or newcomers exploring a career in behavioral health. The event will take place at the Beaver Run Resort & Conference Center in Breckenridge, United States, and will feature notable events such as the Mental Health First Aid Awards and the Golden Abacus & Golden Lightbulb Awards. Attendees can expect a comprehensive schedule of events aimed at providing them with clearer alignment, stronger relationships, and renewed confidence that it is possible to meet today’s behavioral health challenges when working together.
