For over 39 years, Psych Congress has delivered practical, case-based education to an exceptional community of mental health care providers across the country!

Psych Congress is the US’s largest independent mental health educational conference and a place to gather countless practical pearls to better personalize treatment strategies.

The U.S. Psychiatric and Mental Health Congress^TM serves as a unique, integrated forum to connect members of the entire mental health team—bringing together psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, psychologists, primary care physicians, and other mental health professionals for 5 days of practical education to improve patient care.

Psych Congress Compared to Other Psychiatry Meetings

Scope of Curriculum

Comprehensive and practical program spanning all aspects of psychiatric care - including practical psychopharmacology, clinical challenges, latest discoveries and emerging trends, difficult medicines, evidence-based roadmaps, first line decisions and more. Designed for all levels, from early-career clinicians to seasoned psychiatrists, we offer practical, real-world training, covering the latest techniques, treatment, best practices, and evidence-based care. Often limited to narrow academic or pharmacologic focuses with fewer practical sessions and minimal interdisciplinary learning.

Learning Format

Immersive 5-day experience featuring live sessions, evidence-based workshops, masterclasses, innovation theaters, live Q&As, and intimate networking opportunities. Plus, access to on-demand sessions post-event. Experience more psychopharmacology content than at any other event. Predominantly lecture-based with limited opportunities for interactive or applied learning.

Faculty Depth and Engagement

Led by world-renowned educators in the field of mental health including Co-Chairs Rakesh Jain, MD, MPH; Greg Mattingly, MD; and Julie A. Carbray, PhD, PMHNP-BC, PMHCNS-BC, APRN. Our faculty are primarily practicing clinicians, or involved in research, keeping attendees at the forefront of the latest clinical advances and expert strategies. Faculty panels often feature primarily academic speakers with less emphasis on practical application or audience interaction.

Official Media Partner

Backed by Psych Congress Network - the year-round online resource for the latest clinical developments in clinical practice across psychiatry and behavioral health specialties. Typically independent meetings without integrated educational media support.

Community & Continuity

Psych Congress is the flagship event among a year-round learning community with a CE portfolio spanning in-person and on-demand experiences that foster professional growth beyond the event. We are united with many key field organizations - including the American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry (AAGP), American Academy of Physician Associates (AAPA), American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), Association of Physician Assistants in Psychiatry (APAP), Caregiver Action Network (CAN), Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA), International Society of Reproductive Psychiatry (ISRP), Schizophrenia & Psychosis Action Alliance (S&PAA) and Sleep Research Society Foundation (SRSF) - through partnerships to develop specialized education across the field. Most events are one-time annual meetings with little ongoing engagement or continuing education between conferences.
