Recharge. Connect. Grow.
Join us at the 2024 National Summit for Korean American Mental Health Professionals
Saturday, November 2, 2024 | Virtually Facilitated in English and Korean
In 2020, amid unprecedented global challenges, Mustard Seed Generation (MSG) launched its inaugural National Summit, uniting over 300 Korean mental health professionals and students from across the globe. The event was more than just a gathering—it was a space for healing, connection, and community, addressing the unique mental health needs of the Korean American population.
Since then, MSG's National Summit has continued to grow, attracting hundreds of professionals each year. It has become a vital platform for knowledge-sharing, networking, and advancing the field of mental health within the Korean American community. As mental health emerges as one of the most critical issues of our time, the Summit remains a beacon of collaboration, fostering unity among Korean American mental health organizations and practitioners across the United States.
This year, the 2024 National Summit will center around the theme of “Hope and Connection.” Attendees can look forward to a diverse lineup of panels and breakout sessions, such as psychosis, autism, and elderly care.
Mark your calendars for November, and don’t miss this opportunity to connect, learn, and grow with fellow professionals at the 2024 National Summit. Together, we can continue building a stronger, healthier future for the Korean American community.
