The Communities of Practice for Integrated Behavioral Health is part of The Network: Towards Unity for Health’s commitment to strengthening health systems for the world’s most vulnerable populations. Individuals with behavioral health needs often face stigma, fragmented care, and limited access to integrated services. TUFH’s moral mission is to help address these challenges by mobilizing global experts, evidence, and practical solutions.
Through its Global Communities of Practice platform, TUFH convenes specialists, practitioners, researchers, and institutions working in Integrated Behavioral Health to collaborate on original content, shared learning, and context-relevant action.
TUFH is proud to partner with the Mollie Woods Hare Global Center of Excellence on Neurodivergence (Intellectual Disability and Autism) and Mental Health at the Woods System of Care (WSOC), a global leader in advancing research, training, and care for individuals with intellectual disabilities, autism, and related mental health conditions. The Center’s expertise, research leadership, and commitment to improving outcomes for neurodivergent populations significantly strengthen the depth and impact of TUFH’s Communities of Practice.
Together, this collaboration supports the development of global standards, shared learning resources, and training programs that equip the health workforce with the knowledge and skills needed to provide equitable, person-centered care for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities worldwide.
At the TUFH 2026 Conference, a dedicated IDD/Autism/Behavioral Integrated Health Summit will serve as a core component of the program agenda. This global gathering is designed to advance innovative, integrated care and improve outcomes for neurodivergent individuals by bringing together thought leaders, healthcare professionals, policymakers, families, and advocates from around the world. 
The Summit will highlight cutting-edge approaches and practical solutions through keynote addresses, panel discussions, interactive sessions, and collaborative dialogue. Participants will engage with global expertise, explore family-centered and integrated care models, and contribute to shaping strategies that strengthen systems of care and quality of life for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, autism, and behavioral health needs. 
Register for TUFH 2026 today, and be sure to submit an abstract for the IDD/Autism/Behavioral Integrated Health Summit for the opportunity to present and contribute to this global conversation.
