Over the last 4 years, Europe has been severely affected, firstly, by the Covid-19 pandemic, which caused major upset to the social and economic lives of everyone, and of course caused major health traumas and death to many people. Secondly, the significant displacement of war, cultural and also environmental refugees has caused devastation at all levels for the people of countries such as Ukraine, which most recently has resulted in major upsets economically for the rest of Europe, and also for the people from across Eurasia and Africa who have been trying to find refuge into Europe.
Of course, families are the center of and most affected by these crises. Thankfully, there has been a significant recovery from the effects of Covid-19 due to good public health measures and vaccination programs. While the threat still exists the world has learned to adapt.
Against the background of conflict and disruption EUFAMI holds a congress theme-centered around Conflict and Recovery in Mental Health, in Vilnius, Lithuania on 28th and 29th June 2024, with the collaboration of our Lithuanian member LSPZGB.
The sub-themes of the Congress are:
Helping Families to Recover from Mental illness
Migration and Immigration and Mental Health – Cultural issues
Reducing Coercion in Mental Health Services
Better communication through Digital Mental Health Services.
The Congress will be constructed around a plenary session on 28th and 29th June 2024, followed by a series of parallel workshops based on the sub-themes.
