IACAPAP Special Interest Group Webinar on Inpatient Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

Topic: Reimagining Inpatient Child and Adolescent Psychiatry: Global standards, Local realities, and the Future of Hospital Based Mental Health Care

The IACAPAP Special Interest Group on Inpatient Child and Adolescent Psychiatry is proud to launch its inaugural webinar, bringing together clinicians, leaders, and innovators dedicated to advancing hospital-based mental health care for children and youth worldwide.

Inpatient care remains a critical component of the child and adolescent mental health system—yet models of care, workforce capacity, safety practices, and therapeutic approaches vary widely across and even within countries. This opening session will set the stage for how best to advance the goal of exploring how global principles can be adapted to diverse cultural, economic, and health-system contexts, and how clinicians can build services that are safe, family-centered, trauma-informed, and recovery-oriented.

This foundational webinar will set the stage for the SIG’s mission: to create a vibrant, collaborative space for sharing knowledge, strengthening practice, conducting research, and shaping international guidelines that reflect both global wisdom and local needs.
