The year’s annual conference will address the shared systemic grief we are all faced with during these times. Across communities and countries, we are witnessing collective trauma, polarizations, violence, displacement, and deep uncertainty about the future. The grief often feels layered, chronic, and woven into the systems our clients navigate every day. As a mental health therapist, we do not stand outside of it. We feel it too.
As people, we are moving through our own waves of loss, fear, anger, and exhaustion. As systemic therapists, we are trained to widen the lens; to see the relational, cultural, and societal forces shaping the world we live in. This is a weight so heavy, only systemic thinkers can truly understand its depths. To sit with systemic grief day after day, without turning away, without numbing, without collapsing, requires courage, intention, and connection. It requires space where we, too, can be supported and held.
Coming together this year feels like it matters more than it has ever before. As people who hold space for others, we deserve spaces where we can ground, recover, and be reminded we are not carrying the weight alone. Collective healing softens the burden. Connection becomes of resource back to strength, hope, and belonging.
Each year, we come together to gain our CEs, connect with like-minded mental health professionals, and continue deepening our work. This year, on June 26th, 2026, we invite you to not only learn, but to restore with us. To remember that even when grief feels isolating, it is not meant to be carried alone. We heal in relation to others and we are here with you. We are in it too. For one day, let’s gently shift from everything that feels fractured in the world and lean into the relational healing that sustains us as we navigate uncertain tides.
We cannot wait to see you in just a few short months!
