WPA has moved successfully – in scientific, social and financial terms – to the annual convening of the World Congress of Psychiatry. The congresses have featured diversity by region, gender, age and experience. We have partnered with a range of organisations including the World Medical Association (WMA), the International Association of Women’s Mental Health, the International Federation for Psychotherapy and many others. The programs have been more inclusive than ever with expanded opportunities for people with lived experience and their families, and from other sectors to be involved. In October 2025, we will host our next World Congress of Psychiatry, while in September 2026, we will convene our General Assembly Meeting and Elections. For more information, click here
