A POWERFUL, ONE-DAY SUMMIT TO SET THE STAGE FOR NEW POSSIBILITIES
After Hurricane Milton forced the cancellation of the 2024 National Wellbeing & Resilience Conference, we are more determined than ever to come together for a day of hope, learning, and transformation. On February 16, 2026, educators, community leaders, mental health professionals, and those working across systems of care will unite for the National Wellbeing & Resilience Summit. This one-day experience will feature an inspiring keynote, dynamic panels, and interactive workshops designed to ignite possibility and strengthen communities. Participants can earn 7 CEUs while gaining fresh perspectives and practical tools to advance mental health, resilience, and positive change across the education system and beyond. The momentum continues with a series of training opportunities following the summit that will deepen learning and support lasting transformation in schools and systems of care.

Interested in becoming a sponsor?
Now more than ever, the need for mental health and resiliency education is undeniable. Across the world, individuals and systems alike are seeking sustainable ways to address stress, burnout, and disconnection. The National Wellbeing & Resilience Summit was created to meet that need — providing access to a simple yet profound understanding of the mind and practical tools that help people recognize their innate wellbeing. This year, we’ve seen more clearly than ever that schools, organizations, and systems of care are struggling with limited resources and funding for mental health programs and professional development. By becoming a sponsor, you can help bridge that gap by offering educators, community leaders, and caregivers the opportunity to attend this transformative event and bring its impact back to their schools, workplaces, and communities. Your support helps ensure that cost is never a barrier to igniting wellbeing and resilience in those who need it most.
