"We’ve been pushing in this direction for over a decade, and what we saw here felt like the gears starting to catch."
On May 4th, Inner Compass Initiative had the opportunity to help coordinate and participate in the Mental Health & Overmedicalization Summit in Washington, D.C. The gathering brought together policymakers, researchers, clinicians, advocates, and individuals with lived experience for a day of conversation about the current state of mental health care in the United States — and where it may be headed next.
For many years, these conversations have remained largely outside official channels. In this moment, however, perspectives long pushed to the margins were invited into direct conversation with federal leadership.
