5th Annual Mental Health Conference 2026

Theme: Access to Mental Health Care

The 5th Annual Mental Health Conference, organized by Jue Jue’s Safe Space, is back! With better mental health education topics and activities held annually, we will collaborate with the Foundation for Education Development (FED) this year to deliver an even more comprehensive and excellent conference.

As planned every year, this year’s conference will include all essential aspects of mental health. Furthermore, the invited speakers are community leaders and community based organizations working for public benefit, making this an international event. 

Based on this year’s theme, “Access to Mental Health Care,” the conference aims to make mental health services more accessible, sustainable, and systematically achievable from the individual to the national level over the duration of two days. Special emphasis will be placed on discussing conflict-affected areas, internally displaced persons, and situations with limited resources.
