To everyone who joined us—attendees, presenters, volunteers, sponsors, and partners—thank you for making this year’s conference so meaningful.

Over the past few days, hundreds of us came together to learn, reflect, and support one another in the important work of caring for children, youth, and caregivers. In a year that asked so much, this community showed up with heart, resilience, and a shared commitment to moving forward—together.
We are deeply grateful!

Third and Final day of MACMHCON 2026 IS HERE!

This morning, over 500 people came together for our Tuesday keynote, “Staying Rooted, Rising Together: Thriving in Uncertainty,” with Jamil and Sara Stamschror Lott.

In a time when so much can feel uncertain, this space reminded us of the power of staying grounded, connected, and committed to the wellbeing of children, families, and communities.

Together, we continue to learn, reflect, and grow—rooted in what matters most and rising together as a community of care.

We are so grateful to be sharing this final day with all of you. 💛

✨ Day Two is underway at our 30th Annual Conference ✨

We are kicking off the morning with Dr. Anne Gearity and her powerful keynote, “Things Have Been Really Hard… and Remember We Are Trained for This.”

Over 540 people joined us this morning—coming together to learn and connect from Minnesota, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Ohio, Texas, Utah, Wisconsin, California, Georgia, and Missouri.

This slide says it all—our work is so much more than knowledge. It is about attunement, connection, and being in sync with the people who trust us to walk alongside them.
For the past 30 years, MACMH has been a professional home for training, connection, and growth, we continue to train for this, holding space for all who care for children’s mental health.

As we move through the day, we are holding this reminder close:
We are trained for this!

As we prepare for MACMH's 30th Annual Child & Adolescent Mental Health Conference, we are reflecting on the heart of who we are and where we began.
Since its founding, the Minnesota Association for Children's Mental Health has been guided by a simple but powerful belief:
Children's mental health matters, and it takes all of us.

What started as a small, grassroots effort has grown into a statewide community of caregivers, professionals, advocates, and families working together to support the mental health and well-being of children and youth.

Join us as we honor our past and look forward with hope. Discover our story and be part of the future: https://ow.ly/Fa8v50YOK4e
