Join the Alabama Life Research Institute and the University of Alabama School of Social Work for a solution-focused summit that brings together mental health practitioners, system leaders, and policymakers to address the urgent mental health needs of children and adolescents in our state.

Through panel discussions, collaborative breakout sessions, and data-driven dialogue, participants will explore the realities of childhood trauma, system gaps, and opportunities for cross-sector change. Attendees will leave with concrete, actionable strategies to implement within their own agencies and organizations.

Together, we will create a unified vision for supporting Alabama’s youth and building more responsive, effective mental health systems that truly serve our communities.
