Bringing It All Together—Live!
Watching presentations is great, but some of the most meaningful conversations happen when forensic professionals come together to share experiences, ask questions, and realize they’re not alone. That’s why we’ll host live, interactive sessions on Thursday where you can connect with speakers and have the conversations that our profession has needed for a long time. These sessions include:
PANEL DISCUSSION:
The Conversations We Don’t Have
10AM EDT
Join our speakers for an honest conversation about the realities of mental health in forensics, the experiences we often keep to ourselves, and how we can better support one another.
Mindful Minute: A Quick Reset for the Mind & Body
12PM EDT
Pause. Breathe. Reset. Join us for a few mindful minutes of breathwork, chair yoga, and gentle movement to help you release tension and recenter. No special equipment required.
PANEL DISCUSSION:
From Awareness to Action: What Do We Do Now?
1PM EDT
Join our speakers for a practical discussion about turning mental health awareness into meaningful action for ourselves, our coworkers, and our agencies.
Closing Call
3:30PM EDT
Join us in the summit Closing Call live in the private community to wrap up the event and get your action plan for moving forward.
These sessions have been designed to help you connect with others who understand the realities of this work, continue the conversation about mental health, and explore what healthier support in our profession can look like.
All live sessions are hosted inside the private Summit Community. Replays will be available in the All-Access Pass.
