We invite you to submit engaging, practical, and innovative educational session proposals that explore all aspects of community-based behavioral health and housing services. Our attendees include CEOs and executive directors, supervisors, clinicians, direct care staff, peers, and emerging leaders from across New York State. They are looking for fresh perspectives, best practices, and practical tools they can apply in their work immediately.
Most importantly, attendees consistently tell us they want sessions that are interactive, engaging, and participant-centered. We encourage proposals that incorporate discussion, activities, problem-solving, and opportunities for attendees to learn from one another rather than traditional lecture-style presentations.
CLICK HERE for a list of sample topic areas to help spark ideas, but the list is not exhaustive. Think creatively!
- Have you developed a new program or service?
- Discovered an innovative approach to a persistent challenge?
- Built a successful partnership?
- Found strategies that strengthen teams, improve services, promote wellness, or support resilience?
Please keep the following in mind:
- All proposals must be submitted through the online form. Proposals submitted by email will not be accepted.
- ACLAIMH reserves the right to edit session descriptions or request additional information as needed.
- The Conference Committee may request modifications to proposed content, including combining similar presentations with related topics.
- All presenters will be notified of their proposal status via email in August.
Help us create a conference experience that informs, challenges, and energizes our nonprofit community!
