UPLIFT & UPHOLD: Mental Health, Addiction Recovery, and the Law

Join the Hazelden Betty Ford Graduate School and the Mitchell Hamline School of Law for a special symposium and networking event that will bring together law students and practicing attorneys, counseling students and behavioral health professionals, and members of the recovery community and public.

This one-of-a-kind multidisciplinary gathering—the only “Mobilize Recovery Campus Surge 2025” event to be held on a law school campus—is inspired by a simple concept: that to advance justice, empower recovery, confront stigma, reform systems and stay healthy ourselves, we are stronger together.
The event will feature a distinguished, expert panel (stay tuned for who!) and a keynote from attorney, author and recovery advocate Brian Cuban of Dallas, followed by interactive breakouts and a social hour for multidisciplinary networking.

We’ll focus on student and professional well-being, with opportunities for practical, hands-on skill-building. And we’ll explore ways the legal, treatment, academic, and peer recovery communities can work together to tackle stigma, help our clients, and advance effective public policies related to mental health and substance use.

Coming on the heels of World Mental Health Day and National Recovery Month, the event coincides with Mitchell Hamline’s 125-Year Anniversary Reunion Weekend and will also be a reunion event for alumni of the Hazelden Betty Ford Graduate School.

We are pursuing continuing education credits.

All are welcome, and seats are limited.
