Correctional Health Conferences Aren’t Just for Correctional Health Professionals

Make a commitment to yourself to attend a correctional health conference in 2026.

You do not have to work in correctional health to learn from it. Professionals in health care, advocacy, policy, research, education, and even the creative spheres can all gain urgent, practical insight from this field.

Correctional health sits at the intersection of public health, behavioral health, law, equity, community safety, and human dignity. It asks hard questions. It requires practical answers. And it brings together people who are working every day to improve care in some of the most complex settings in the country.

In 2026, NCCHC offers three opportunities to step into that conversation: the Correctional Mental Health Conference, the Virtual Correctional Mental Health Conference, and the National Conference on Correctional Health Care

Each conference offers a different way to take in timely information from the professionals closest to the work. Attend to explore the field. Attend to meet people who care deeply about quality health care. Attend to understand why correctional health matters far beyond the walls of jails, prisons, and juvenile facilities.

Make 2026 the year you show up, listen, engage, and get to know correctional health.
