The Catalan Congress of Mental Health for Children and Adolescents It is the institutional framework that organizes, coordinates, and carries out the congresses that are held triennially in Barcelona to address mental health issues affecting children and adolescents.

Its origin dates back to the annual meetings that various institutions in the field of child and adolescent mental health held at the Official College of Psychologists of Catalonia since 1990. However, given the progressive complexity it was acquiring, the members of the scientific and organizing committees decided to replace the workshop format with that of a congress.

The Congress's philosophy is defined by the following axes:

Multidisciplinarity.
Broad geographical representation.
• Broad representation of theoretical models.
• Emphasis on community focus.
• Creation of discussion spaces with broad participation from the audience.
All of this within a framework of respect and collaborative spirit.
