We have always faced health care hurdles – from restrictive legislation and lack of funding to the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the obstacles, we continue to persevere as a community.
We endure by reimagining mental health and substance use treatment. By adapting to meet people in need where they are. And by redefining ourselves and our organizations at every turn.
The National Council for Mental Wellbeing celebrates this perseverance at NatCon22 – an assembly of the most influential voices in our field, powered by three days of thought leadership, networking and entertainment.

About the National Council
Founded in 1969, the National Council for Mental Wellbeing is a membership organization that drives policy and social change on behalf of nearly 3,500 mental health and substance use treatment organizations and the more than 10 million children, adults and families they serve. We advocate for policies to ensure equitable access to high-quality services. We build the capacity of mental health and substance use treatment organizations. And we promote greater understanding of mental wellbeing as a core component of comprehensive health and health care. Through our Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) program, we have trained more than 2.5 million people in the U.S. to identify, understand and respond to signs and symptoms of mental health and substance use challenges.
