RIAIMH partners with various community and state agencies to offer an annual conference that builds on a specific topic of interest, presented by a nationally known speaker.

We use this opportunity to offer research-based information that serves to broaden our thinking and transform our practices. RIAIMH convenes a Conference Planning Committee (members are from the community, RIAIMH Board, and RIAIMH staff) to work together on the specifics of this event, including intended audience, IMH-related topic, and links to ongoing initiatives in the State.

Our Conference is held annually in the spring. 

Stay tuned for updates on our 2026 Conference.
