In November, DBSA proudly hosted its inaugural in-person Mental Health Equity Convening in Chicago, centered on Radical Hope, Sustainable Collaboration. The gathering brought together senior staff and volunteer leaders from smaller national mental health organizations that support historically marginalized communities to share resources, explore collaboration, elevate collective impact, and lay the groundwork for future connections. The convening featured a keynote address from Altha Stewart, MD, a nationally recognized leader in community and public mental health.
