IN ADDITION TO THE MIDWEST SUMMIT PROGRAM
Introducing This Educational Track 

Co-Sponsored By

BMH Connect. Education. Connection. Empowerment.

This collaboration between the Expressive Therapies Summit and BMH Connect provides a curated continuing education opportunity within the Summit program for mental health professionals who identify as members of a racial minority group. In addition to featuring leading-edge theory and practice, we intend to offer a safe environment for clinicians of color to network, learn, and explore key issues and stressors in their professional lives.

The C3 featured track seeks to foster a community of diverse clinicians—particularly those who value arts and play-based treatment approaches—navigating a field where they may not feel represented, understood, or supported.
