- The Sixth Reno Conference convened a small group of behavioral health experts that interacted with members of President Bush’s New Freedom Commission on Mental Health and functioned as an ad hoc think tank on mental health issues in various venues including Reno, Phoenix, Tucson, Las Vegas, Washington, DC and Stamford, CT. It functioned as a small, loosely knit group over the period of October 2004 to April 2005 and addressed a broad array of problems, including behavioral healthcare delivery, the future of mental health in general healthcare, the role of behavioral health in social security and health savings accounts, and finally the morphology of mental health in universal healthcare. It was supported by The Nicholas & Dorothy Cummings Foundation.
