Join us May 6, 2026, for our third annual conference!
The South Central Minnesota Mental Health Conference envisions a world where mental health is openly discussed, understood and supported without stigma. Our conference aims to create a safe and inclusive environment where individuals from all walks of life can come together to share experiences, gain knowledge,\ and build a supportive community.
This third annual conference is being coordinated by the Brown County Mental Health and Wellness Action Team (MHWAT), which works throughout Brown County to reduce the stigma of mental health, increase resiliency and improve access to mental health treatment and services.
Cannabis presentations for both the regular and youth conferences are made possible by a grant from the Cannabis & Substance Use Prevention program of the Minnesota Department of Health’s Health Improvement Bureau.
