Welcome


Welcome to the 11th World Congress of Women’s Mental Health!

It is a pleasure to invite you to the upcoming 11th World Congress of Women’s Mental Health, taking place in Sitges, Barcelona, from March 14th to 17th, 2027.

Women's mental health is a global priority, and this congress offers a unique opportunity to share groundbreaking research, discuss best practices, and explore strategies to improve mental health services for women.

As president of the IAWMH, I am glad to welcome you to this prestigious event in the beautiful coastal town of Sitges, just a short distance from Barcelona. Known for its rich cultural heritage, stunning architecture, and welcoming atmosphere, Barcelona is the perfect blend of academic excellence and Mediterranean charm, making it an ideal destination for this congress.

The theme of the Congress is "Integrating a Biopsychosocial Approach in Women’s Mental Health". We will bring together mental health professionals, neuroscientists, and social scientists from around the world to discuss the latest research and best practices in the field. This will be an enriching opportunity to exchange knowledge, ideas, and foster collaboration.

Expect keynote lectures and panel discussions with renowned experts, interactive symposia and workshops on current issues, clinical case discussions, presentations on innovative practices and global initiatives, and valuable contributions from individuals with lived experience. An exciting program for early-career professionals will also be part of the event.

The conference will be held at the modern Melià Hotel in Sitges, offering world-class facilities and a vibrant atmosphere that enhances the overall experience.

Get ready for a unique blend of scientific discussions, networking opportunities, and cultural experiences.

We look forward to welcoming you to Barcelona in 2027.
