We invite passionate speakers, facilitators, and changemakers to submit proposals for the 3rd Annual Youth Mental Health Summit, taking place on October 22, 2026 at the Embassy Suites at Destiny USA.
Following two successful, sold-out years, this Summit brings together a diverse audience of youth, educators, mental health professionals, and community members to elevate the conversation on youth mental wellness. Last year’s event welcomed over 300 attendees, including nonprofit staff, social workers, clinicians, counselors, and school-based professionals working directly with youth and families, as well as high school students and district leaders.
This year’s theme, Power of Connection, highlights the importance of relationships, belonging, and community in supporting youth mental health. We are seeking engaging, interactive sessions that center youth voice, promote wellness, and offer practical tools that participants can apply in their lives and work.
Sessions may be designed for mixed audiences of youth and adults or for adult participants only, depending on the time of day and placement within the agenda.
Presenters may include youth, educators, mental health professionals, community leaders, and individuals with lived experience. We especially encourage proposals that are collaborative, culturally responsive, and youth-inclusive, and that offer actionable strategies to support young people and those who care for them.
Please complete the form below to submit your proposal.
The deadline to submit proposals is June 15, 2026.
