We are currently seeking proposals for workshop presentations for Putting Care at the Center 2025.

These presentation opportunities are open to leaders, practitioners, students, researchers, advocates, and others wishing to share open-source resources and tools, innovative programs and partnerships, field experiences, and significant research findings.

Core tenets:

• Priority will be given to presenters who have lived experience of complex health and social needs, and presenters from underrepresented and/or marginalized communities.
• Presenters are encouraged to ground their content in relevant complex care frameworks, including the Blueprint for Complex Care, ecosystems of care, and the complex care core competencies.
• Presentations should recognize the complexity of systems and institutions, including the impact of structural racism.
• Recognizing the diversity of the audience, presentations should be appropriate for attendees from different sectors, disciplines, and professions.
