Drum roll please... 🥁🥁🥁

We're HYPE to welcome our keynote speaker, Ashley McGirt-Adair, LICSW
Trauma Therapist | CEO & Founder, Therapy Fund Foundation.

Ashley will deliver a powerful keynote: The Cost of Healing in Silence — Addressing Racial Trauma and the Call for Culturally Responsive Care.

This session centers the often unspoken emotional labor carried by individuals and communities navigating racial trauma while also examining what it means for clinicians to move beyond awareness into truly culturally responsive care.

With deep clinical expertise and a commitment to expanding access through her work at the Therapy Fund Foundation, Ashley brings both vision and urgency to this conversation—challenging us to rethink how healing is supported, resourced, and sustained.

Join us May 7–8, 2026, as we come together ONLINE for this essential gathering of clinicians committed to equity, depth, and meaningful change.
