The Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health Anti-Racism, Inclusion, Solidarity & Empowerment (ARISE) Division is seeking proposals for workshop presentations, panel discussions, and keynote speakers at the 2026 Multicultural Mental Health Conference, themed “Healing in a Land of Diversity: A Multicultural Approach to Mental Health.” This vibrant conference—taking place on Mar. 17-18, 2026, at the Downtown Los Angeles InterContinental—will celebrate Los Angeles County’s diverse cultural fabric while exploring innovative, holistic strategies and treatment methods tailored to our community’s varied behavioral health needs.

This is a powerful platform to promote equity, belonging, and inclusion, and will equip behavioral health professionals and community members with relevant tools to support recovery, resilience, and enhance public mental health services.

Proposals will be accepted for review through December 1, 2025. We encourage submissions from local experts in the field of multicultural mental health.
