Community mental health summits

Our community mental health summits provide an opportunity to sustain and enhance the positive working relationships and joint vision established in past years in order to better address the mental health care needs of Veterans and their families. They're open to VA and community mental health providers, Veterans and their family members and Veterans community service agency providers with an emphasis on learning more about the COMPACT Act, Whole Health, and the Power of Peer Support.

The next summit will take place virtually Friday, Oct. 6, 2023.
