Change for a better future: Perspectives beyond symptoms

Our hope was to meet in person in beautiful Antwerp, Belgium in October this year. However, due to the unpredictable course of the pandemic and due to the unpredictability of travel restrictions, we decided to have a virtual conference in 2022. The online format has the advantage that we can all plan and continue our exchange on the overarching theme of our conference:

“Change for a better future: Perspectives beyond symptoms”

We hope to extend the limits of traditional thinking in science and clinical care by creating a platform for an innovative discussion among researchers, clinicians, members of health care systems, as well as patients and relatives. Core topics of our discussions will be positive psychology and what we have learned from suicide prevention to promote a life worth living.

Like in our successful previous conferences, our aim is to open the floor for contributions from different disciplines and fields of research with a specific focus on patients’ well-being. Please join us and submit your valuable contributions to an enriching and inspiring conference.

The abstract submission deadline has been extended until 31 May 2022.

We are looking forward to a fruitful and inspiring exchange!
