Join us for insightful conversation, experiential learning, and community building. This panel will explore how contextual behavioral science (CBS) can be used to reduce mental health and substance use stigma within our own field, with a focus on supporting professionals with lived experience. Panelists across training, clinical, academic, and leadership roles will share CBS-informed perspectives and practical strategies for creating more inclusive professional spaces. 

This event is open to all mental health professionals–ACBS membership is not required. The event will not be recorded.
