The second summit also intends to continue to work towards finding sustainable strategies to restore the Haitian psyche and map. The Second Haitian Mental Health Summit will once again bring together practitioners, researchers, educators, and policymakers for the following objectives:

1. Share the work that Rebati Sante Mentale Inc is doing with partners in Haiti to address the unmet mental health needs in Haiti
2. Identify individuals or groups who are currently implementing sustainable mental health programs in Haiti and map such programs
3. Generate an actionable list of recommendations from participating organizations about effective mental health strategies for different regions of Haiti that can support initiatives by the minister of health to execute on best methods for addressing unmet mental health needs in Haiti.
