Join us for our inaugural and transformative mental wellness summit, where you’ll be part of a pioneering team of 250 business leaders and mental health experts united by a shared vision and mission to revolutionize Florida’s mental health landscape. At the heart of our endeavor lies the development of a business-oriented model, meticulously designed to elevate mental health outcomes for employers and commercial entities, with the potential for national replication. Through a comprehensive statewide assessment, we will identify immediate opportunities for rapid improvements and craft long-term strategies for substantial, lasting change over the next five years, all with the aim of enhancing access to care and amplifying the effectiveness of behavioral health services.
Through the guidance and partnership with the Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute we can create and implement practical and attainable strategies to secure and potentially augment funding for efficient behavioral healthcare services, by aligning state and federal policies more effectively. The success of this mental health initiative will influence policy landscapes, regulatory frameworks, reimbursement protocols, and program structures across Florida’s mental health sector. Join us in this groundbreaking effort, and together, we will establish the first business-led statewide movement, rooted in independent, non-partisan, data-driven principles, fostering accountability and trust.
