Our next convening is scheduled for 2026

A Trusted Standard Starts With You

M.Cert (Mental Health Certification) is more than a convening—it's a call to action. With support from Pivotal Ventures, we’re uniting funders, payors, policymakers, and innovators to shape the future of youth mental health through standards that unlock real-world adoption of digital, subclinical tools.

Our in-person convening event brings together…

changemakers, payors, funders, and builders needed to define, and commit to, a standardization pathway for digital mental health tools. The goal of the convening is to develop a blueprint that enables payors to confidently adopt these tools, thereby increasing access to quality, more affordable care and strengthening the pipeline of mental health solutions.

Why This Convening Matters

The youth mental health crisis is growing—and while solutions exist, they remain siloed and inaccessible. We know that safe and effective digital tools are available, but they often lack a unified pathway to legitimacy, funding, and widespread adoption.

M.Cert is catalyzing a shift: from fragmented efforts to coordinated action. This 1.5-day experience will bring together leaders capable of unlocking adoption pathways across Medicaid reimbursement, policy, venture funding, and public-private partnerships.
