Advancing Hope Dinner 2026

NAMI Wisconsin is honored to present the inaugural Advancing Hope Dinner, an elegant evening dedicated to advancing mental health research, strengthening compassionate care, and fostering meaningful collaboration across Wisconsin's mental health community. Bringing together psychiatrists, psychotherapists, researchers, students, healthcare leaders, advocates, and community partners, this distinguished event will spotlight innovative research and emerging approaches that are shaping the future of mental health care in Wisconsin and beyond. Held at the stunning Monona Terrace, the Advancing Hope Dinner offers a unique opportunity to engage with fellow professionals committed to evidence-based care, interdisciplinary collaboration, and reducing stigma through research, education, and advocacy. Guests will experience research poster presentations, meaningful networking, recognition of excellence and innovation, and thought-provoking presentations and discussion centered on advancing understanding, treatment, and recovery. Proceeds from the evening directly support NAMI Wisconsin's mission to expand access to free mental health education, support, and resources across Wisconsin.
