Welcome from Sofia University President
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to Sofia University’s Global Mental Health Conference: Enlightened Minds, Compassionate Hearts, and Embodied Wisdom. We are proud of this conference and believe in its potential to offer up new dialogues, partnerships, and ideas for addressing mental health internationally.
Sofia University, formerly the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology has, since the 1970’s, provided cutting edge courses, transformative degree programs, and whole-person seminars to a community of change-agents. Indeed, Sofia University’s scholars and students have long addressed and challenged the burning questions in the field of mental health. Now, as all of us face increasing concerns over post-covid global mental health, we imagined this as a conference where attendees could hear diverse voices, engage in genuine conversation, learn from others’ expertise, share new initiatives, and consider alternative ways of approaching these concerns.
Thank you for your participation and interest in this exciting event. I would also like to send special thanks to our Chairs, Global College, faculty, and staff for organizing a memorable dialogical event. Again, Sofia University welcomes you to the 2024 Global Mental Health Conference. Please enjoy!
