Many people who enter the field of mental health and addiction treatment do so not just out of academic interest, but because they've lived through profound challenges themselves. These experiences often shape not only their desire to help others but also their capacity to connect deeply with the struggles of those they support. The resilience they build through their own painful experiences becomes a powerful asset in their professional journey, offering unique insights and empathy that textbooks alone can't provide. By turning their own suffering into strength, they offer others the possibility of doing the same. At #GXC2024, we’ve created a global hub of inspiration, education, and networking — one that gives professionals the space to learn and grow in an environment that reflects the dynamic diversity of our industry: from admissions to leadership, veterans to newbies, and everything in between.
