“Workforces and Psychiatry: Translating Policy into Action for Mental Health at Work.”

First introduced in 2015, the EPA Forum precedes the official opening of the Annual European Congress of Psychiatry. It brings together the EPA Community, EU Institution Representatives, Civil Society Organisations, and Diverse Stakeholders in the field of Mental Health and Care from across Europe.

The EPA Forum 2025 will be held in-person in Madrid, Spain, on Saturday, 5th April 2025 at 9:00 – 12:00 CEST.  The event will also be broadcast in real time on the EPA Congress website, ensuring access for all. This year’s event will be held under the overarching theme ‘’Workforces and Psychiatry: Translating Policy into Action for Mental Health at Work’’. As the employment and health policy spheres come together to discuss initiatives for healthy, inclusive, sustainable, and engaging work environments, the mental health professionals, and carers that they rely on have important perspectives to share. Their conversations will inform the development of actionable solutions for Healthcare Systems in Europe.

This eleventh edition of the EPA Forum will therefore aim to generate an impactful contribution to achievement of the aims set by the EPA Congress theme “Towards Real-World Solutions in Mental Health.”
