Join CBHA in Los Angeles for CBHA’s 2025 Spring Behavioral Health Policy Forum!
Dear Advocates and Allies,
Join the California Behavioral Health Association (CBHA) on June 18, 2025, at The Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites in Los Angeles, California for our Spring Behavioral Health Policy Forum: Meeting the Moment and Preparing for the Future. The CBHA Policy Forum is where California’s behavioral health field unites to address the critical policy, funding, and workforce issues impacting our communities right now.
The behavioral health landscape is undergoing rapid change—from CalAIM implementation to shifting federal priorities and increased pressure on the safety net. Community-based organizations (CBOs), providers, and advocates are being called to adapt while maintaining quality, equity, and access for those who need it most.
The CBHA Policy Forum creates a unique space for:
- State and local decision-makers to connect directly with providers
- CBO leaders and executives to exchange best practices and advocacy strategies
- Policy experts to break down complex legislative and funding updates
- Behavioral health advocates to align on a unified vision for the future
What you’ll walk away with:
- A clear understanding of key policies and how they impact your organization
- Practical strategies to sustain your workforce and fiscal health
- Tools for adapting to new technology, regulations, and equity mandates
- Inspiration and insights from people driving real change in the field
Featured Keynotes
Nic Sheff, author of Tweak and We All Fall Down, will share his raw and inspiring journey through addiction and recovery. He’ll offer frontline insight into prevention, co-occurring disorders, and how providers can approach this work with empathy and effectiveness.
Monica Oss, CEO of OPEN MINDS, will offer a deep dive into CalAIM’s real-world implementation—equipping leaders with strategies for navigating system transformation and serving complex populations with confidence.
Secure your spot today! Registration closes on June 12, 2025. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with state officials, legislators, and fellow advocates to shape the future of behavioral health policy.
