Psych Congress Elevate delivers a curriculum designed to strengthen clinical knowledge, promote forward-thinking practice, and support the growth of early career mental health providers. While the full agenda will be released soon, the program is organized into two core tracks featuring sessions led by a mix of nationally recognized experts and new and emerging voices who are shaping the future of mental health care.

The Elevate experience emphasizes practical, relevant education that clinicians can bring directly into patient care. Sessions generally fall into the following categories: psychopharmacology, technology, and professional development. This structure allows attendees to tailor their learning to their interests, career stage, and practice environment.

Psychopharmacology Sessions

The psychopharmacology sessions focus on treatment strategies for common and complex psychiatric conditions encountered in early career practice. Attendees can expect up to date discussions on topics such as:

• Treatment approaches for depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, and ADHD

• Considerations for patients with co occurring substance use

• Medication selection, optimization, and safety

• Updates on new, emerging, and future therapies

These sessions may incorporate case examples depending on faculty preference and topic complexity, but the primary focus is delivering evidence based, clinically actionable guidance for real world practice.

Technology & Innovation Sessions

Technology continues to reshape mental health care, and these sessions are designed to help clinicians navigate the evolving digital landscape with confidence. Content may explore:

• Digital therapeutics and tech enabled treatment models

• Clinical decision support tools and AI driven technologies

• Telepsychiatry best practices

• Innovations that improve workflow efficiency, patient engagement, and access to care

Sessions highlight both current applications and forward looking trends, offering attendees insight into how technology can improve decision making, expand treatment options, and strengthen clinical impact.

Professional Development Sessions

The professional development sessions support both personal and career growth, helping clinicians build the non clinical skills essential for long term success. Topics may include:

• Early career leadership and communication

• Documentation and risk management

• Preventing burnout and supporting clinician wellbeing

• Navigating career transitions and workplace challenges

• Building mentorship relationships and growing your professional network

This track also includes the Private Practice Summit Preconference on June 2, which provides education for clinicians who are building or expanding independent practice. Content may cover business structures, compliance, reimbursement fundamentals, branding, patient retention, and workflow optimization.

Expert & Emerging Voices

One of the defining elements of Psych Congress Elevate is the diversity of perspectives present in the program. Sessions are crafted and delivered by:

• Established thought leaders and nationally recognized experts

• Rising voices whose work is shaping new directions in behavioral health

• Clinicians practicing in various settings, offering practical insights grounded in day to day care

This combination ensures attendees receive both foundational knowledge and exposure to the innovations, research, and practice considerations that are driving the field forward.

Full Agenda Coming Soon

A detailed schedule, including session titles, speakers, and CME and CE credit information, will be available in the beginning of 2026. The final program will reflect timely, relevant, and high quality content that supports the unique needs of early career clinicians.
