Where Behavioral Health Leaders, Capital, and Growth Strategies Meet

The Behavioral Health Investment & Growth Retreat (TCIV) is where behavioral health operators, investors, lenders, and strategic partners come to sharpen growth strategy, pressure-test decisions, and build the relationships that drive partnerships and transactions.

Held at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess in Scottsdale, Arizona, TCIV combines high-level education with a “work, not watch” format—practical panels, roundtables, and a hands-on workshop—plus dedicated space for private meetings and quiet conversations. From CEOs, CFOs, and founders to private equity, lenders, advisors, and ecosystem leaders, TCIV brings together the senior decision-makers shaping what’s next in behavioral health.

This year’s program focuses on the realities leaders are navigating now: valuation expectations vs. market reality, why deals stall or die late, becoming investor-ready without rushing to sell, service line cycles and what’s next for growth, demonstrating ROI on strategic investments, payer strategy and the technology layer that is changing access, operating models, and credibility with capital and payers.
