The Kennedy Forum: 2026 Alignment for Progress Kickoff Workshop
We hope you’ll join The Kennedy Forum in Washington D.C. on May 12, 2026, for our 2026 Alignment for Progress Kickoff Workshop, an invite-only convening of senior leaders across healthcare, policy, business, and philanthropy working to shape the future of mental health.
Your voice will directly contribute to policy research and development, new opportunities for partnership, and real solutions shaped by the leaders in the room.
As we assess progress toward the 90-90-90 goals for 2033, we’ll focus on areas where we’re seeing real momentum and opportunity for impact:
What would it mean to design the largest, most effective system possible for prevention? Together, we’ll explore how the field can move from a scarcity mindset toward one of abundance.
With the announcement of an imminent parity rule proposal, how can we leverage emerging data from the national Mental Health Parity Index alongside growing legislative activity nationwide?
As new mental health and addiction crises emerge, from online gambling to AI dependence, what new, innovative solutions are needed to confront them — and how can leaders across sectors move faster to implement them?
How do we leverage policy solutions across every stage of life so that we are cultivating brain health at every age, positively improving generations at a time?
You’ll explore these topics and much more, with remarks from Patrick J. Kennedy on the forces shaping the field and the path forward.
Venue details to follow. In the meantime, please mark this date. We look forward to seeing you.
