2023 Global Capacity Building Conference

Since 2003, NBCC and Affiliates has worked with partners worldwide who are interested in professionalizing counseling and increasing mental health service capacity. In addition, through this work and these partnerships, NBCC has become aware that many counselors and counselor educators are also engaged in and dedicated to collaborating across borders and cultures. This has allowed for a better understanding of the differences, similarities, and mutual need for effective counseling and mental health training, practice, and research within and across borders.

Mental Health Connections: Advancing Global Health Equity

NBCC and the NBCC Foundation invite you to join us during our fourth international virtual conference, Mental Health Connections: Advancing Global Health Equity.

This year will highlight education or training, practice, and research geared toward increasing mental health equity through counseling and other initiatives that focus on history, challenges, and resilience of the individual, community, culture, and country. Participants will learn about counseling through an international and diverse lens and receive insight about counseling and mental health initiatives and movement toward counseling professionalization from speakers across the globe.

This conference will take place from November 29—December 1, 2023.
