Location: TBA
No registration is necessary: We’re primarily welcoming local participants, and we’ll also be joined by SDC colleagues who are interested in mental health and wellbeing.

Join around 100 professionals, peer leaders, advocates, and organisations for a one-day conference rethinking mental health care beyond the traditional medical model. Through keynotes and panels, we’ll explore how peer involvement, lived experience, and community support strengthen recovery and resilience, while sharing lessons from the MENSANA project and other initiatives in Moldova. Expect practical reflections on user-led decision making, reducing stigma, and building stronger connections between local partners and international experts, plus time to meet, exchange, and network.
