Psych Congress Elevate is committed to creating a dynamic learning environment that blends the expertise of nationally recognized faculty with the fresh perspectives of new and emerging voices. Each year, we invite early career clinicians, rising researchers, and innovative practitioners who are advancing mental health care in meaningful ways. This group brings forward new ideas, clinical insights, and real world experiences that reflect the evolving needs of patients and the profession.

The New and Emerging Voices program provides a platform for clinicians who are shaping the future of mental health practice to offer perspectives informed by direct patient care, research, and the unique challenges faced by early career professionals.. Their work spans a wide range of areas including new treatment approaches, cultural and community engagement, integrated and collaborative care, digital and technology supported interventions, trauma informed practice, and emerging models that reflect current challenges in behavioral health. Their voices help ensure that Psych Congress Elevate remains relevant, forward looking, and grounded in the realities of modern clinical practice. Many emerging contributors also bring expertise from diverse backgrounds and care settings, enriching the dialogue with insights that represent the wide spectrum of communities served in mental health.

Throughout the conference, attendees will have the opportunity to hear from these voices through presentations, discussions, and the broader educational program. Their inclusion reflects our commitment to supporting professional growth while amplifying ideas that are shaping the next phase of mental health innovation.

This year's New and Emerging Voices will be announced as the program is finalized in early 2026. Attendees can look forward to learning from a wide range of clinicians who are bringing fresh thinking and impactful work to the field.
