About this Event
The 2026 Community Mental Health Summit is an annual Phoenix Veterans Health Administration event designed to strengthen collaboration between VA facilities, Veterans, families, caregivers, and community partners.
The goal is to identify local mental health needs and improve both VA and community access to mental healthcare services for Veterans and their families.
This year we are honored to hold a face-to-face networking event at the historic Steele Indian School Park Memorial Hall. Join us to learn about the history of Memorial Hall, network with community health partners, and learn how to easily connect to VA services.
Enjoy a complimentary breakfast, light lunch, and giveaways!
