What is the Theme This Year?
Ever Forward: Growing Community, Cultivating Outcomes
This year’s theme is grounded in the belief that our work and outcomes cannot exist in silos. True collaboration, always requiring practice, means there is a confluence of ideas, perspectives, intentions, partnership, accountability, and a shared vision. Growing community means deepening our relationship with affected communities, including youth and families, who are not only welcome in this space, but essential partners to shape outcomes.
Our ambition is that this TCOM Conference, like those before it, plants a seed of community that bridges disciplinary and professional divides, and connects people across roles and experiences, just as TCOM as an approach works to overcome the institutional barriers that obstruct the proper provision of care. We view the community of policymakers, direct care workers, analysts, advocates, trainers, community leaders, and cross-system partners as collaborative. The conference is a space where this collaborative can strengthen itself and engage in a collective effort to improve person-centered care.
