At the core of mental health care is human connection.

First-time Elevate Co-Chair Brittany Albright, MD, MPH, shares how her approach to patient care begins with empathy - being a physician first, a therapist second, and a psychopharmacologist last. She emphasizes the importance of building trust, fostering hope, and creating space for genuine healing through lifestyle changes and psychotherapy before medication.

At Psych Congress Elevate, education goes beyond clinical skill. It’s about learning how to lead with compassion, deliver care that’s effective and personalized, and remember that every patient encounter is an opportunity to inspire hope.
