Psych Congress Elevate was created in 2017 to address a clear need in mental health education: a dedicated forum built specifically for early career clinicians and those looking to strengthen their core skills. Many providers step into new roles with significant responsibility for patient care and limited access to practical, mentored learning. Elevate was designed to close that gap.

What began as a focused meeting has grown into a nationally recognized conference that blends psychopharmacology, psychotherapy, practice management, and professional development content. Over the past decade, Elevate has continued to evolve alongside the field, incorporating new science, changing guidelines, and emerging care models into the program each year.

The agenda reflects the real challenges clinicians face today. Rising rates of mood and anxiety disorders, higher acuity in outpatient settings, increasing demand for integrated and collaborative care, and the need for trauma informed and culturally responsive treatment all shape the topics covered at Elevate. Sessions emphasize evidence based strategies, case based learning, and practical tools that can be implemented immediately in a wide range of settings.

Psych Congress Elevate is guided by a multidisciplinary faculty of psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, physician assistants, psychologists, and other experts. Many hold leadership roles in academic medical centers, health systems, and specialized mental health programs. Their shared mission is to support clinicians as they build confidence, refine clinical reasoning, and deliver high quality care to diverse patient populations.

Thousands of participants have attended since the first meeting, and many return year after year. Attendees consistently highlight the welcoming atmosphere, the accessibility of the faculty, and the way the education directly impacts their daily practice. For clinicians who are just getting started or taking on new responsibilities, Elevate has become a launchpad for long term professional growth.

As Psych Congress Elevate marks its 10th year, its commitment remains the same: to provide high value, high integrity education that helps clinicians grow their skills, advance their careers, and improve the lives of the patients and communities they serve.
