World Mental Health Day is observed annually on 10 October.
This year’s theme for World Mental Health Day is ‘Make mental health & wellbeing a global priority for all’.
In line with this year’s theme and to commemorate the day, the Cyprus Psychologists Association, the EFPA Standing Committee on Crisis, Disaster, and Trauma Psychology and the University of Cyprus are co-organizing this event.
The Symposium theme is "Global Emergencies, Local Preparedness."
It recognizes that psychology as a science and an applied profession has a great deal to contribute to mental health at a community level and especially as it relates to the field of Crisis, Disaster, Emergency and Trauma Psychology. Specifically, it focuses on the psychosocial impacts that arise after critical incidents in the community, especially those that relate to global crises/threats such as climate change, natural disasters, war, and other.
It hopes to strengthen the capacity of European countries for psycho-social response preparedness in today’s global emergencies that affect people’s mental health. Scientific presentations are expected from European experts and invited local speakers.
