The PsychArmor National Summit 2026, held September 22–24 at the Hyatt Regency San Diego, California, is the flagship convening of PsychArmor Institute — the nation's leading provider of military cultural competency training for healthcare professionals, educators, employers, and community organizations that serve veterans, active duty service members, and military families. PsychArmor's core mission is straightforward but profound: to ensure that every professional who interacts with a veteran or service member is equipped with the knowledge, skills, and empathy to serve them effectively — understanding the military experience, the culture of service, the unique stressors and strengths that military life creates, and the specific healthcare and support needs that result from years in uniform. The 2026 National Summit brings together healthcare providers, mental health professionals, VA clinicians, employer human resources leaders, educators, nonprofit professionals, and veteran service organization staff for three days of keynote presentations, workshops, panel discussions, and networking that advances the field of military cultural competency. Featured topics include improving veteran healthcare outcomes through cultural alignment, addressing military sexual trauma with competence and compassion, supporting caregivers of veterans with TBI and PTSD, building veteran-inclusive workplace cultures, and leveraging PsychArmor's training platform to certify entire healthcare systems and organizations. San Diego — home to one of the largest active duty and veteran populations in the United States — provides the perfect setting for this gathering, with the Pacific Ocean as backdrop and the energy of a city that has always embraced its military community. Whether you serve veterans professionally or simply want to serve them better, the PsychArmor Summit will change how you see and support America's heroes.
