“From Crisis to Care: Improving Outcomes in Arizona’s Behavioral Health System“
Friday, May 1, 2026: Desert Willow Conference Center
AzPHA’s 98th Annual Conference will focus on strengthening Arizona’s behavioral health system and improving outcomes for people with mental and behavioral health needs.
Arizona’s behavioral health system sits at the intersection of public health, Medicaid, housing, courts, and community-based services.
This year’s conference will highlight innovative strategies, evidence-based practices, and policy approaches that move the system beyond crisis response toward sustainable, person-centered care. Our final agenda will be released in late February and will focus on:
- Policy, Advocacy, and Systems Change
- Serious Mental Illness & Population-Specific Needs
- Integrated Care and Community Well-Being
- Crisis Response and Civil Commitment Systems
- Maternal Mental Health & Perinatal Care
