Dear Colleagues & Students,,
​
We are happy to announce and invite you all to our 1st National Annual Conference - CPSICON-2023 of Clinical Psychology Society of India (CPSI) which is scheduled from 10th to 12th August 2023 in collaboration with the Department of Clinical Psychology, NIMHANS, Bengaluru.
Mental health stands at an interesting juncture today! The sign of times bring to spotlight four important facts needing cognizance at the National level.
Governmental bodies and the public in India are evincing new levels of interest in making mental health as an important part of well-being and overall health.
​
While stigma in seeking mental health services still has a long way ahead to elimination, levels of stigma in some pockets of society have reduced .
​
There is a rapid and exponential increase in the student world towards seeking Psychology as a destination career.
​
The National Mental Health act 2017 has made sensitive advances to empower people with mental health issues. Acknowledging these interesting changes, addressing them, systematizing them and sculpting a future that ensures " Mental health for all" through the collective efforts of mental health professionals, is the need of the hour. Keeping this in mind, The CPSI announces a conference on "Mental Health for Changing World: New Challenges and Opportunities"
We look forward to your wholehearted and enthusiastic participation on this actionable theme. We invite registration, submission of abstracts of original research, proposals for symposia, proposals for pre and post conference workshops for our upcoming conference.
