Behavioral Health Business (BHB) presents the annual INVEST Conference, the premier event bringing together owners, operators, and investors of behavioral health practices for two-days of networking and dealmaking. Attendees will hear from leading executives and industry experts shaping the field of investments, mergers and acquisitions, operations, and more.

In 2025, the BHB INNOVATE Conference became a part of the INVEST Conference.

INVEST brings together the industry’s premier dealmaking ecosystem. You will connect with active strategic buyers, private equity leaders, and established providers from across the mental health, ABA, SUD, and MAT sectors. This is the room where successful owners and entrepreneurs meet the M&A advisors, bankers, and lenders who drive the market forward. If you are looking to scale, exit, or deploy capital, INVEST is where the most consequential conversations in behavioral health happen.

Explore the trends, transactions, and strategies shaping the future of behavioral health. Discussions cover investment activity, M&A trends, valuation and exit strategies, capital markets, and growth initiatives across key sectors including mental health, ABA therapy, substance use disorder treatment, and medication-assisted treatment. Attendees gain insights from experienced operators, investors, and advisors on scaling businesses, navigating transactions, and identifying opportunities in a rapidly evolving market.
