Guiding Principles
The conference is anchored by key principles that ensure relevance, inclusivity, and practical outcomes:
Translational Science
Conference attendees will gain insights into case studies and innovative approaches in order to bridge the gap between research and practice by showcasing real-world applications of evidence-based strategies from around the world.
Interactive and Inclusive Sessions
Offering a variety of formats, including panel discussions, story-sharing sessions, hands-on workshops, and a wellbeing fair, we will curate an engaging and impactful learning experience.
Engaging Diverse Stakeholders
Bringing together professionals from healthcare, education, corporate leadership (including ESG/DE&I professionals), policymakers, NGOs, and individuals with lived experience, we welcome everyone to join us and foster collaboration and cross-sector solutions.
Accessible to all
Days 1 and 2 are tailored for professionals (e.g., mental health practitioners, NGO staff) and students (e.g., public health or clinical psychology students). That said, anyone with an interest is more than welcome to join! Day 3 will feature a Mental Wellbeing Festival designed for the general public—open to anyone and everyone interested in mental health across the lifespan. We aim to make the day accessible, interactive, informative, and supportive for all attendees.
