CBHA CON 25 Vision:


This year's theme is Together We Lead: Inspiring Change, Taking Action. Community Behavioral Healthcare, despite all its challenges, continues to be ripe with amazing potential for progress and innovation.


A question we are asking our presenters to answer at CBHA CON 25 is,


How do we leverage the collaborative nature of community behavioral healthcare to inspire innovative change and advocate for what our industry needs to improve the lives of the most vulnerable people in Illinois?


We will be looking for engaging presentations that answer this question. Inspiring and practical solutions will be helpful to our membership which is currently faced with an uncertain Medicaid funding future. We welcome presentations focused on, but not limited to, innovative and emerging service models, clinical models for MH and SUD, CCBHCs, strategies for dealing with the workforce crisis, innovative use of IT within organizations, and overall proposals aimed at improving services and supports systemwide.


CBHA's membership includes behavioral healthcare providers such as CMHCs, BHCs, CCBHCs, FQHCs, Health Departments and Hospitals across the state of Illinois. Conference attendees are typically leadership of these provider types, both clinical and business/operations/financial-related.


We look forward to reviewing your submission and will be in touch with you soon. If your session is selected, those presenting will receive complimentary tickets for the day they will be presenting.
