In recent decades, the proportion of psychological and psychosomatic disorders among children has increased significantly worldwide. Modern lifestyles, parental and social expectations, and digital overload all contribute to children facing anxiety, stress, and emotional instability at an increasingly early age. These trends call for complex, interdisciplinary approaches.
The aim of this international conference is to connect the latest findings from pediatrics, psychiatry, psychology, and alternative therapies, and to create an opportunity for presenting integrative and holistic healing practices.
Organized jointly by the Lélekszirom Association and Mathias Corvinus Collegium, with the support of the Bethlen Gábor Fund Management Inc., the Szatmár/Satu Mare County School Inspectorate, and the Szatmár/Satu Mare County Educational Counseling and Resource Center, the event brings together international experts. It offers a professional meeting point where scientific research and practical experience interact to shape the future of child psychology.
The conference aims to strengthen dialogue between disciplines, promote the application of modern, creative therapeutic approaches, and support the view of child well-being as a unity of body, mind, and social harmony.
