About the Conference 

Integrated care is a crucial component of the behavioral health ecosystem. Supporting our patients and care teams in integrated care requires critical innovations, rethinking approaches and strengthening systems. In this conference, distinguished keynote speakers, thought leaders, and community voices will lead a variety of sessions and workshops to discuss ideas and generate solutions. Join a community of partners to share ideas, learn about community-level innovations relevant to integrated care, and help improve behavioral healthcare and health equity in the State of Washington and beyond.

The University of Washington Advancing Integrated Mental Health Solutions (AIMS) Center and the Integrated Care Training Program (ICTP) are sponsoring this opportunity to learn about and discuss community-level innovations relevant to integrated care. More information about the conference.
