Join us for the 2024 SOPNIA Congress “Interweaving Science with Inclusion and Transculturality”
This 2024 congress is located in a place where you can get in touch with the essence of our country, with its araucarias and its people... Our people. Where you can enjoy typical food and fresh air.
Allowing us a space to reflect and get closer to what it means to form a community, where each person has a fundamental role. Where space will be given to science in connection with the complex, with the intersubjectivity of people and where different dialogues will be included.
Where the intersubjective will allow us to weave together diversity and create culture from multiple origins, inviting us to soak up human wealth in order to capture it and thus embody it in our work with children. Creating a meeting between everyone, to be able to share from the professional to the personal.
The annual SOPNIA (Sociedad de Psiqiatria y Neurologia de la Infancia y Adolescencia de Chile) congress allows us to meet around issues of childhood and adolescence with a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary invitation to all of us who work for the well-being and better growth of children and adolescents. Professionals from different disciplines are invited including neurosciences, neurology, psychiatry, psychology, kinesiology, occupational therapy, speech therapy, that is, all those who work in relation to mental health. The broader community is invited to participate in these three days, where extensive promotion has also been carried out, which extends beyond national borders, including Spanish-speaking countries and international scientific societies, since we are very aware of the presence of the SOUTHERN CONE, as a relevant event this year.
The broad call aims to increase scientific diversity and to promote the sharing of knowledge among different nations, taking into account that the psychosocial determinants of each place can have a significant impact on clinical practice.
Among the topics, inclusion and neurodiversity are highlighted, addressed from a development perspective that considers the nuances of multiple cultures. Other topics will also be explored in depth according to what is emerging and contingent, for the different specialties.
There will also be a focus on well-being and resources, being consistent with the fact that many diagnoses are not necessarily a disease and that health goes beyond the simple absence of disease, which can be fostered by promoting healthy lifestyles and cultivating healthy interpersonal relationships, where multiple disciplines play a role at different levels, from the individual, family, to the community and structural.
In accordance with the above, the program will include spaces of transculturality, with the participation of indigenous peoples and of course artists, where the combination of art and culture will permeate every corner and will accompany the distinguished Dr. Jorge Förster, as is tradition, to lead the Expoarte, which together with the League against Epilepsy, give significance and charm to our congress year after year.
We invite you all to participate in Pucón, in the XLI SOPNIA CONGRESS 2024. “Interweaving science with inclusion and transculturality”.
