April 3-5, 2025

Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino

The youth mental health crisis has prompted international concern and demands for immediate action. Already concerning rates of anxiety, depression, and suicide have escalated in recent years with the COVID-19 pandemic, social media, socioeconomic pressures, and a world in constant flux.

The ADAA 2025 Conference will provide the most recent clinical and research advancements for treating and preventing anxiety and depression during this critical developmental period - from infancy through young adulthood - when symptoms first appear, and trajectories can still be shaped.

Presentations will focus on mechanisms-based strategies for shifting the course of psychopathology towards well-being at individual, neighborhood, and population levels.

Join us for a dynamic exploration of research findings and clinical solutions, as we collectively work towards building a brighter future for our youth and preventing a lifetime of struggle.
