This year’s theme highlights our zero tolerance policy against racism and social injustice prevalent throughout the country. Too often, people of color are left to deal with the emotional pain of racism without the support of mental health professionals.

Within the DMV area alone, the ramifications of race-based trauma and its direct impact to the communities are evident through high attendance rates at ongoing protests throughout the area. This virtual mental health summit is our effort to address these very real and present issues within the community we have proudly served for 205 years.
