Washington State's Vehicle for Collaboration & Action in Mental and Behavioral Health
The Washington State Mental Health Summit is an inclusive forum that brings together stakeholders from across Washington and beyond to develop, share, and advance innovative ideas, partnerships, and initiatives that strengthen mental health and substance use disorder prevention, treatment, and care. The Summit is open to anyone committed to improving behavioral health systems and outcomes in our communities.
The most recent Summit was held on May 13, 2025, at the University of Washington HUB Grand Ballroom through a collaborative partnership between Chad's Legacy Project, the Behavioral Health Institute at Harborview Medical Center, and the University of Washington Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health Sciences. The hybrid event welcomed more than 700 stakeholders from across the country, creating new opportunities for collaboration, innovation, and meaningful action.
A Different Kind of Summit
The Washington State Mental Health Summit follows a unique 18-month cycle. This timeline provides initiatives a full year to develop and report out, then a 6-month Request for Proposals and development period follows before the next event.
The best way to receive updates on progress and be part of this effort is to join our mailing list so you can be the first to get announcements.
