The Center for Chronic Illness is proud to present our first annual Chronic Illness Symposium, a virtual two-day conference taking place on April 17th & 18th 2026. This inaugural event welcomes individuals living with chronic illness, their loved ones, and healthcare and mental health professionals.

This virtual event will feature two distinct tracks: one designed for individuals living with chronic illness and their loved ones, and another tailored to mental health and healthcare professionals. Through a mix of keynote speakers, panel conversations, and interactive sessions, the Symposium will explore topics at the intersection of mental health, chronic illness management, self-care, research, advocacy, and community connection. Whether attending for personal support or professional development, participants will find opportunities to engage, learn, and feel empowered in a supportive virtual space.

This event aims to foster a more connected and informed community—one that honors the voices of those impacted by chronic illness and equips providers to offer evidence-based and trauma-informed care.
