annual summit
Claritycon is Clarity Child Guidance Center’s annual summit on children’s mental health. Created in 2013, this conference equips educators, therapists, physicians, social workers, childcare workers, and community members with important children’s mental health information.
Claritycon is one of the leading conferences on children’s mental health in Texas. In 2019, over 500 attendees participated in the keynote and breakout sessions and over 700 people came to the special luncheon with journalist and author Lee Woodruff.
past speakers
The breakout sessions are the heart of the Claritycon program. Presenters represent a range of experience and specialized expertise.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Claritycon was reimagined with the help of our friends at KLRN, a Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) member television station, to give attendees the same wonderful speakers and CEU opportunities in a new, flexible format.
