Two years after the CAMHI’s inaugural conference in January 2023, which marked the launch of the initiative and presented its objectives, research findings, and programming, we will meet again at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Centre (SNFCC) to discuss our work to date. This time, and in continued dialogue with the community, the conference will focus on critical mental health issues faced by children and adolescents, presenting ways to strengthen care and support through the public sector in Greece, in line with international best practices and the voices of young people.

Conference speakers include the Co-President of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF), Andreas Dracopoulos, the Founding President and Medical Director of the Child Mind Institute, Harold Koplewicz, and Deputy Ministers of Health, Marios Themistokleous and Dimitris Vartzopoulos. The event will feature a wide range of presentations and discussions, as well as a targeted panel on the role of media in shaping the discussion on mental health, curated by iMEdD (incubator for Media Education and Development). Speakers moreover include members of CAMHI’s network and Youth Engagement Scheme, representatives of the Greek state, experts from distinguished institutions and organizations, and professionals from the fields of health, education, the judiciary, and social welfare. 

The conference will convene at the Lighthouse of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Centre (SNFCC), on Thursday, February 27, from 09:00 to 17:30.
