Held in the spirit of the UAE's Year of Family and closing on World Mental Health Day, EAMC 2026 advances mental health and rehabilitation as the foundation of sustainable wellbeing — for the individual, the family and the community.
The Congress unites European and Arab medicine around a shared conviction: that lasting health is built not in isolation, but within resilient families and inclusive societies.
Mental health that endures — built on prevention, early intervention, evidence-based care and lifelong resilience rather than crisis response alone.
The family as the first system of care — supporting caregivers, strengthening bonds, and recognising that recovery and wellbeing are shared journeys.
Health systems and societies designed for the long term — inclusive, technology-enabled, ethically grounded and accessible to every population.
Across Europe and the Arab world, demand for mental health and rehabilitation services is rising faster than systems can adapt. Families carry much of this burden, often without support, while new technologies and inclusive models offer real hope for change.
EAMC 2026 brings clinicians, researchers, policymakers and innovators together to translate that hope into practice — sharing what works, shaping policy, and building the partnerships that make wellbeing sustainable across generations.
The programme unfolds as a narrative — from foundations, through technology and inclusion, to recovery and renewal on World Mental Health Day.
Day themes are indicative and will be finalised with the scientific programme.
Present your work, shape the dialogue, and help build a more resilient future for mental health and rehabilitation across two regions.
