FREDONIA, N.Y. – Early bird registration is now open for the 2026 Hope & Healing Conference of Western New York, a two-day event bringing together professionals, advocates, families, and community members for learning, connection, and inspiration around mental health and substance use prevention.
Those who register by April 10, 2026 will receive $10 off the regular registration price.
This year’s conference will expand to a two-day format, centered around the theme “The Power of Story.” You may register for just Day One or both Day One and Day Two.
Day One: The Power of Story will focus on professional learning and powerful storytelling through keynote presentations, breakout sessions, and Hope Talks, short, impactful presentations that highlight personal and professional experiences related to mental health, suicide prevention and awareness, substance use, treatment, recovery, and prevention, grief and loss.
Day Two: Camp Hope: Where Stories Grow will open the event to the broader community with a family-friendly experience featuring resource tables, interactive activities, youth engagement, and opportunities for individuals and families to connect with local organizations and services that support wellness and recovery.
Organizations and agencies interested in sharing resources with attendees are invited to host a table during the conference. Groups wishing to participate must complete the conference registration form and select the tabling option within the registration process. Spaces are limited, so we encourage you to take advantage of the early Bird window.
Early bird registration and tabling registration are now open!
