Facilitating collaboration and knowledge sharing across the behavioral health ecosystem, the EBP/CDEP Conference serves as a trusted convening space where diverse sectors come together to learn, connect, and advance practice. For more than a decade, the conference has brought together health systems leaders, clinicians, researchers, criminal justice partners, educators, social workers, service providers, community-based organizations, government agencies, and philanthropy—creating a rare, cross-sector environment grounded in shared purpose.

Held annually for over 10 years, the conference fosters meaningful dialogue, highlights innovative and community-defined solutions, and strengthens relationships that drive real-world impact across California’s behavioral health landscape.
