Arizona State University's Center for Applied Behavioral Health Policy is pleased to announce the call for presentations for the 21st Annual Summer Institute Conference. The dates of this year's Summer Institute are being rescheduled and updates will be announced soon, at the High-Country Conference Center in Flagstaff, AZ. The theme of this year’s conference is Mind the Gap and will focus on improving gaps in the continuum of care, underserved populations and healthcare disparities, healthcare policy, cross-sector partnerships, self-care and compassion fatigue, industry revenue and budgeting, peer & family support, faith-based support, and emerging trends. This year’s conference will highlight innovative methods for practice and collaboration across systems to proactively address gaps in care.

Behavioral health of individuals and families remains the overarching focus of the Summer Institute. Presentations demonstrating creativity and innovation in the delivery of behavioral health care to diverse and under-represented members of our community are encouraged. Presentations need to be fact-based, but not necessarily data driven.
