30th Rosalynn Carter Georgia Mental Health Forum

On Tuesday, May 19, 2026, The Carter Center’s Rosalynn Carter Mental Health and Caregiver Program will convene the 30th Annual Rosalynn Carter Georgia Mental Health Forum, a milestone gathering dedicated to advancing mental health policy, systems, and practice across the state of Georgia.

Held annually each May, the Forum brings together service providers, policymakers, advocates, and individuals with lived experience from across Georgia to engage in open dialogue on timely and pressing mental health issues. As we mark the Forum’s 30th anniversary, we will reflect on Mrs. Rosalynn Carter’s extraordinary legacy and the significant progress made over the past three decades to strengthen mental health and caregiver support—while also confronting the work that remains.

Through conversations with policy leaders, mental health experts, state agency officials, and community voices, participants will explore critical topics shaping Georgia’s mental health landscape and identify opportunities to advance a more equitable, accessible, and effective behavioral health system for all Georgians.

Join us for a full day of learning, reflection, and collaboration as we honor 30 years of impact and look ahead to the future of mental health in Georgia.
