Event Description

Join LCCNC for its inaugural Minority Mental Health Virtual Symposium—a powerful two-day event for professionals, students, advocates, and supporters committed to advancing equity in mental health. This dynamic virtual experience offers 14 or more continuing education hours and features engaging sessions led by renowned speakers from North Carolina and across the country. Hear from leaders representing AMHCA, CACREP, Disability Rights North Carolina, and other influential organizations shaping the mental health field nationwide.

Our speakers will share insights on fostering cultural competence, embracing diversity, and creating inclusive, affirming spaces for all clients. As counselors, it's essential that we continue to grow in our understanding of different cultures and lived experiences-and this event is designed to help us do just that.

Celebrate the Progress and Power of the Counseling Profession as we honor its impact and look ahead to a more inclusive and innovative future. Whether you attend live or on demand, you'll gain practical tools, fresh perspectives, and meaningful strategies to support your professional growth.

All registrants will receive access to recorded sessions on demand, giving you the flexibility to engage with the content at your convenience. Don't miss this opportunity to learn, connect, and be inspired with fellow professionals from across the country.
