We are delighted to welcome you to Durban for the South African Mental Health Conference 2027, under the theme: ..

“Advancing Mental Health Through Partnerships”

South Africa’s mental health challenges require us to work together across professions, sectors and communities. This conference brings together clinicians, researchers, policymakers, educators, community organisations, people with lived experience and other partners to share knowledge, exchange ideas and build meaningful solutions.

Our vision is to create a space where research meets practice, diverse perspectives are valued, and new partnerships can flourish.

We invite you to bring your knowledge, experience and vision as we work together towards a healthier future for mental health in South Africa.
