ResilienceCon is an international conference that offers opportunities to interact with colleagues who are interested in strengths-based approaches to understanding, preventing, and responding to violence and other adversities. ResilienceCon takes a multidimensional, ecological approach to overcoming trauma and emphasizes the role of social justice in individual and community wellbeing. ResilienceCon uses highly interactive formats and meets every April in Nashville, TN.

Across the nation, communities are coming together to play an active role in shaping the mental health services that impact their lives. By fostering partnerships and collaborative efforts, we can transform existing systems to better meet the needs of children, youth, and families. This holistic approach ensures that community voices are central, creating services that are more effective, equitable, and responsive.
