Relive The Summit

Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the 2022 Conquering the Mind Mental Health Summit For Recovery and Wellness. A special thanks to the Hillsboro Free Methodist Church for hosting our event. To our Speakers, Presenters, Sponsors, Exhibitors, and Event Teams, thank you for helping to make the 2022 Mental Health Summit a huge success!

This year’s summit featured a six hour day filled with empowering testimonies, stories of survival and recovery, and bringing healing to Montgomery County. We also engaged in critical conversations about moving forward to achieve equitable outcomes in mental health.

For those of you who could not attend the event in person or simply want to re-experience it, we’ve prepared a few videos recorded during the Summit.

If you or someone you know struggles with substance use, mental health challenges, suicidal thoughts, or grief... you are not alone! There is hope! See how talents and gifts can be used to showcase our uniqueness. Relax and renew by watching our main speakers, individual recovery stories, and the intro to a musical that shares a story of grace that changed lives many years ago and still can today.


The Lineup:

Sam Anthony Lucania (Owner and Founder of Sam Anthony Speaks); Sam Eaton (Executive Director & Lead Communicator at Recklessly Alive; Andy Raines (Artist with Passion Painter Ministry); Cross Over Ministries’ Local Recovery Support Peers; and the Intro to “The Master’s Peace” Musical.
