Conferences
Hopefully one of these conferences aligns with your interests (and your locale).
Our list of mental health conferences for 2027 in Iowa is empty for now.
That's almost certainly a gap on our end, not a lack of activity in Iowa. Therapists, counselors, social workers, and psychologists are gathering all the time -- whether it's a CEU workshop, a state association conference, a clinical training, or a multi-day summit -- and we want this page to reflect that. If you've attended a mental health conference, training, or continuing education event in Iowa, please let us know so we can add it for other clinicians searching the same way you did.
Hosting something yourself for therapists, counselors, or other mental health professionals? We'd love to feature it. Send us a link to the event page along with the basics -- dates, format, location, CEU info if applicable -- and we'll handle the rest. We never charge organizers to list.
What to expect for 2027
Here's a forecast of upcoming events.
Because 2027 is still ahead, our directory of mental health conferences in Iowa is far from complete. Most organizers -- state associations, training institutes, EMDR and CBT certifying bodies, private CEU providers -- announce their dates throughout the calendar year, often only six to nine months out. So this page will keep filling in as the year approaches. A lot of the activity comes from the major professional associations -- the American Counseling Association (ACA) and the American Mental Health Counselors Association (AMHCA) for counselors, the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) for clinical social workers, the American Psychological Association (APA) for psychologists, and the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) for MFTs -- plus their Iowa chapters, which run their own annual conferences and CEU programming. Looking back at 2026, we ended up with roughly 6 conferences in Iowa once the dust settled. The cadence tends to repeat year over year, so 2027 will likely fill in to a comparable size. The heaviest month was April, with 3 events on the books -- a useful data point if you're picking which conference to attend. In the meantime, if you spot a 2027 conference or training in Iowa we don't have yet, we'd love a heads-up.
