About This Course

The City of Philadelphia Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual disAbility Services is proud to host the 15th Annual Faith and Spiritual Affairs Conference. The theme this year is “Triumph through Tragedy: Finding Ways to Persevere.” The conference will illustrate how faith communities and the City of Philadelphia have partnered to recognize perseverance, strength, and triumphs in the face of prolonged traumas.

Over the course of the last two years, many have been affected by gun violence, COVID-19, economic insecurity, systemic racism, and other hardships. The resulting stress and trauma have taken a toll on our personal wellness. Our conference goal is to build on the strengths and tenacity of Philadelphians to address the tragedies our communities have experienced. This year’s conference is a reminder that Philadelphia, a city built on hope and faith, can unite to become victorious.

We are seeking presenters who have experienced triumph over tragedy and can present strategies to persevere. Be prepared to inspire community leaders, health professionals, social workers, faith leaders, and residents as they continue to triumph.

“The triumph can’t be had without the struggle.”- Wilma Rudolph
