Conference Description:

Next Level: Exploring Options Beyond Outpatient Care
The 2026 Yellowbrick Annual Conference, Next Level: Exploring Options Beyond Outpatient Care will help mental health professionals better recognize and respond to the complex needs of emerging adults when traditional outpatient treatment may no longer be sufficient. Through multidisciplinary perspectives, presentations will emphasize understanding what different levels of treatment can offer, identifying when a referral for more intensive or specialized care may be appropriate, and strengthening collaboration among outpatient clinicians, families, consultants, and treatment programs. Ultimately, attendees should leave with a broader framework for understanding complex emerging adults and greater confidence in helping young people and their families navigate the continuum of care toward meaningful, sustained recovery.
