Friday & Saturday | August 1-2, 2025
Washington, D.C. | The Capital Hilton
The conference will showcase the most innovative and effective approaches for youth and young adults to mobilize to transform how mental health is valued and prioritized on campuses, in schools, in the transition to the workplace, and within our communities.
This is the largest conference in the nation for young adult advocates! Most of our attendees are ages 18-25, and we welcome all who want to champion a new era of mental health.
“I left thinking a lot about my own mental health and my journey to advocacy. I felt very grateful to be reminded why I got into this work and to see that many others are still working hard and beautifully passionate!”

“My major takeaway was that boundaries and self-care are so essential as a Gen Z-er experiencing the mental health crisis. We have to advocate because we are all in crisis but that doesn’t mean we can’t set boundaries about how we talk about it.”
