RISE25 Call for Proposals

Submission Deadline: Sunday, September 22, 2024

All Rise will host RISE25, the world's preeminent conference on addiction, mental health, and justice reform, May 28-31, 2025 at the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center in Kissimmee, Florida. RISE draws more than 7,000 attendees each year, bringing together representatives from all models of treatment courts as well as leaders, policymakers, and other key stakeholders from the legal, treatment, and social service fields, and leaders from recovery and veteran communities, to learn the latest evidence-based practices for serving justice-involved individuals impacted by substance use, mental health, and co-occurring disorders and trauma.

Priority Categories

All Rise is seeking session proposals that explore best practices in service delivery, collaboration, justice programming, public safety, and public health responses to individuals with substance use, mental health, and co-occurring disorders and trauma. Submissions should fall into one of two categories:

Treatment courts – All Rise seeks proposals that provide research findings on treatment court best practices, data analysis, and best practice implementation. Where possible, proposals should be grounded in the second edition of the Adult Treatment Court Best Practice Standards.
Justice and/or treatment innovation – All Rise seeks proposals highlighting emerging solutions for justice-involved individuals impacted by substance use, mental health, and co-occurring disorders and trauma. We are especially interested in justice reform research-based programming that address or include law enforcement; the unique needs of justice-involved veterans; family-centered practices; pretrial services; community supervision; reentry services; equity and inclusion; effective treatment, housing, employment, and vocational approaches; and long-term recovery management.

Selection Criteria

The selection process is competitive. Proposals will be selected based on their application of scientific research, best practice standards, and evidence-based practices; relevance to the field; ability to address cross-functional policy/program areas; engaging format; interactive design; style, clarity, justification, and feasibility; originality; relevance to a national audience; and the subject matter expertise and training experience of the presenters.
