About this Event

Community Conversations & Conference: Youth Mental Health & Digital Wellness.



In partnership with the Training Institute, this year’s theme focuses on how digital environments are shaping youth mental health and what that means for those working with children and families. Grounded in research and real-world practice, the conference explores how social media, technology, and digital exposure impact brain development, behavior, and well-being. We will examine where systems need to adapt and how professionals, educators, and emerging practitioners can respond with intention.


The morning will include networking, a light breakfast, a keynote presentation, two breakout sessions, and a fireside chat. CEU and professional development hours will be available for eligible professionals. Registration is $25.



2.0 hours of continuing education and professional development will be available for the following professional boards:
  • The MN Board of Social Work
  • The MN Board of Behavioral Health and Therapy (LPC/LPCC & LADC)
  • The MN Board of Marriage and Family Therapy
  • The MN Board of Nursing
  • MN Professional Educator Licensing and Standards Board: This program has been designed to meet professional development for the Mental Illness in Children and Adolescents category.



Room: University Center Room (1506 - 1510), located near the West Entrance, closest to the parking lot.


Parking will be validated.
