About the Event

The Center for Mental Health and Addiction Policy (CMAP) is thrilled to announce its 2025 Nexus Series, A New Policy Agenda to Address Mental Health and Addiction in the U.S. This three-part event series will take place at the Hopkins Bloomberg Center in Washington D.C. and will convene top experts to address some of the most pressing policy challenges surrounding mental health and substance use disorders. Each event will feature a public panel followed by either a policy discussion or networking reception, creating a collaborative space for decisionmakers from local, state, and federal levels to explore innovative solutions. Learn more about the series on our website.

Event Description

Mental health challenges are not only common but carry significant costs, both financially and socially. These issues transcend party lines, presenting a unique opportunity for the new administration to prioritize mental health in public conversation and in policymaking. This panel will bring together leaders from government, foundations, and academia to discuss economic empowerment as a pillar of mental health in all policies agenda that can guide the next administration. The discussion will address how non-mental health policies can have effects on population mental health, and specifically how economic policies affect population mental health. Speakers will discuss the possibilities of efforts around building financial, physical, and social assets as a mental health policy priority. Join us on February 27th from 4:00–6:30 pm ET for this engaging panel discussion, followed by a networking reception.
