The Louisiana Mental Health Conference is a boutique conference experience focused on providing educational training with thought provoking topics presented by industry leaders. Attendees will have the privilege of hearing from premier clinicians who have elevated the field with their expertise and influence.

This year’s conference, the Louisiana Mental Health Conference focused on topics of interest which were selected by the 2023 attendees. After months of research, the Louisiana Mental Health Conference Committee is honored to have created a line-up of presenters from across the country, all who specialize in specific populations and have dedicated their careers to those they serve.
