The Brookstone Conference is an annual forum advancing dialogue at the intersection of neuroscience, psychiatry and behavioral sciences, emphasizing the translation of evidence into real-world care. Each year, we convene researchers, clinicians, and community partners to address timely challenges and accelerate solutions that improve mental health outcomes.

This format strikes a balance between intellectual rigor and accessibility, making the event valuable to academics, clinicians, students and community stakeholders alike.

Past conferences have explored topics such as the impact of cannabis on the brain, the influence of technology on cognition, and novel approaches to treatment and prevention. More broadly, the conference provides a platform for addressing timely challenges in mental health while maintaining flexibility to respond to new developments in science, policy and clinical practice.
