2025 Hero’s Journey Symposium
We are honored to host our 8th annual Hero’s Journey Symposium at the American College of Surgeons Conference Center on 30 September 2025.
The Theme for 2025 is Moving from D (Disorder) to G (Growth).
Changing the narrative on mental health and well-being by understanding impacts of trauma and building the right pathway from wounds to wellness for all. With greater emphasis on early interventions, meet people where they are and use technologies to support opportunities to offer patient centered care.
The event will be streamed on this site and our YouTube channel. Previous years’ symposiums are also available online.
