2025 program features specialized pre-conferences, session honoring the legacy of Dr. Vladimir Maletic, and a keynote on decriminalization and justice reform.

MALVERN, PA, UNITED STATES, May 7, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Clinicians throughout the mental healthcare community will gain the latest knowledge and research updates during HMP Global’s expanded Psych Congress 2025 event, set for September 17-21 in San Diego.

Psych Congress is the nation’s largest independent mental health educational conference and a place to gather data and information to better personalize treatment strategies. This year's event will feature a comprehensive program aimed at improving clinical knowledge, according to Julie Carbray, PhD, FPMHNP-BC, PMHCNS-BC, APRN, a Psych Congress 2025 Steering Committee member, co-chair, and a clinical professor of psychiatry and nursing at the University of Illinois Chicago.

“Psych Congress continues to lead the way in providing high-quality, accessible education that empowers mental healthcare providers to deliver the best possible care to their patients," she said.

Expanded educational program
This year’s Psych Congress will feature new and enhanced educational offerings, including two specialized preconferences, a welcome session honoring the legacy of Dr. Vladimir Maletic, and a keynote session focused on decriminalization and justice reform, said Greg Mattingly, MD, Psych Congress 2025 Steering Committee co-chair and a psychiatrist at Washington University.

“The expanded program for 2025 is designed to challenge our participants and ignite the kind of clinical innovation that is critical in addressing today’s complex mental health landscape,” he said.

Attendees will experience five days of interactive sessions, workshops, and presentations addressing a wide array of mental health treatment approaches and strategies. Psych Congress 2025’s preconferences will cover the important topics of “Advanced Psychopharmacology” and “Simplifying Digital Psychiatry: Tech for the Everyday Clinician,” making the most of attendees’ time and travel.

One in five adults in the U.S. – about 58 million – experienced mental illness during the past year, according to data from the National Institute of Mental Health and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, but only half received mental health services. About 33 million Americans, including 5 million adolescents, seek mental healthcare each year, making attendance at Psych Congress 2025 essential for care professionals across the psychiatric spectrum.

Psych Congress 2025 will spark innovation leading to better patient outcomes, said Psych Congress 2025 Steering Committee member and Co-Chair Rakesh Jain, MD, MPH, a clinical professor at Texas Tech - Permian Basin, adding: “With more than 50 internationally renowned faculty members from leading academic and clinical institutions, Psych Congress 2025 will offer attendees insights into the latest discoveries.”
