Coming Together for Action (CT4A)
Global Alliance’s biennial interdisciplinary symposium on behavioral health, social justice, & healthier communities.
September 26–28, 2024
Coming Together For Action
The 2024 symposium theme is Toward Mental Wellness.
The Global Alliance collaborates with individuals with lived expertise, researchers and practitioners from across disciplines to promote mental wellness for all in settings where we live, learn, work, pray, and play. Now more than ever we need to work together to counter threats to mental wellness—health disparities, global conflicts, climate change, increased displacement, erosion of human rights—and to reimagine ways to create settings, social environments, and policies that promote wellness.
Our 2024 symposium furthers our call to action in addressing individuals, families, and communities in local, national, and global contexts through an interdisciplinary lens. Will you be there?
Where it all began! CT4A 2024 will be held on the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) campus, in the same city as the Global Alliance’s very first meeting in 1924!
