The Human Side of Mental Health Practice: A Symposium Exploring Ethics, Presence, and Professional Identity

This year’s symposium invites mental health professionals to explore the complex intersection of their professional roles and personal humanity in a digital-first world. With social media, technology, and constant connectivity reshaping how we show up, this event will create space for reflection, insight, and shared learning. It’s about navigating visibility, ethics, and sustainability—while remaining grounded, present, and whole. Through panels, workshops, and meaningful conversation, we’ll explore what it means to be both human and professional today.

What You Can Expect:

• A thought-provoking keynote on the human and professional side of mental health
