The East Coast Symposium agenda offers 20+ sessions delivered by 30+ expert faculty representing leading treatment centers, academic institutions, mental health systems, and recovery organizations.

The program covers essential and emerging topics including trauma and dissociation, harm reduction, ethics, cannabis and clinical risk, GLP-1s, adolescent engagement, recovery capital, body image, anger management, seniors and substance use, nutritional psychiatry, TBI and addiction interplay, and co-occurring disorders.

Faculty will guide attendees through practical, evidence-based frameworks grounded in motivational interviewing, contingency management, trauma-informed practice, ethical decision-making, resilience-building, and strengths-based treatment planning.

Returning to West Palm Beach, ECS is enriched by South Florida’s concentrated behavioral health and recovery ecosystem. The agenda reflects the challenges clinicians face today: rising acuity, complex families, emerging drugs, and the need for compassionate, sustainable approaches to care.

With 20 CE credits, the our program provides structured learning while encouraging the reflection and reconnection essential for long-term clinical excellence.
