CBHC Hosts Colorado's Largest Behavioral Health Conference
Each year, CBHC's Annual Behavioral Health Conference draws hundreds of participants, including behavioral health specialists, members of the state and criminal justice systems, physical health providers, and university students.
This premier event highlights best practices in clinical care and business operations within the behavioral health field.
Conference Theme: Meeting the Moment for Communities
This year’s theme reflects the challenges and opportunities facing behavioral health today. Across Colorado, needs are growing more complex while resources are tightening. Systems are evolving, expectations are shifting, and many professionals are being asked to do more with less—all while supporting individuals, families, and communities in crisis.
The conference is designed not to shy away from these realities but to explore together how we can meet this moment—collectively, responsibly, and with care. CBHC exists to foster coordination, trust, and shared commitment to care, and this year’s program is built around collaboration, reflection, and actionable learning.
Key topics include:
-
Mental health
-
Substance use disorders
-
Social determinants of health
-
Colorado and national guidelines
Attendees have the opportunity to earn continuing education credits while participating in exceptional training sessions and networking with peers in a collaborative and supportive environment.
Whether you’re an experienced professional or exploring a career in behavioral health, CBHC’s Annual Conference is open to anyone passionate about advancing the field. Join us for an unparalleled learning and networking experience—and leave with clearer alignment, stronger relationships, and renewed confidence that meeting this moment is possible when we do it together.
