WELCOME

Dear colleague;

We are proud to announce that the World Association for Psychosocial Rehabilitation

(WAPR) is organizing the XIII WAPR World Congress ”Recovery, Citizenship, Human

Rights; Reviewing consensus”, which will be held from 5th to 7th July 2018 in the Municipal

Conference Centre of Madrid, Spain. We will have the honour of being the meeting point of

many professionals during those days in order to further our knowledge in the Psychosocial

Rehabilitation of persons with mental illness.

WAPR is an international NGO, with representation in more that 40 countries from all

continents, composed mainly by interdisciplinary mental health professionals (psychiatrists,

psychologists, nurses, social workers, occupational-therapists, social educators, etc.) WAPR’s

principles include the interest of maintaining a fluid open dialogue with service users and the families movement.

The mission of WAPR is the dissemination of principles and practices of psychosocial

rehabilitation and recovery in mental health. That means: access to appropriate treatments and

program aimed to provide opportunities for people with disabilities due to mental health

problems to develop an inclusive life in the community, with treatment, job, housing and social participation.

We have developed a scientific program including many prestigious national and international

professionals from the Psychosocial Rehabilitation and Community Mental Health field. We

intend that scientific accuracy merges with the diversity and dynamism needed in psychosocial

interventions in our field. We believe that the speakers of the 13th WAPR World Congress will

maintain the high standards reached in previous editions.

The congress will be held in the cosmopolitan city of Madrid, with its elegant boulevards and

expansive, manicured parks, which together with the cultural activities and fine cuisine it offers, will contribute to a pleasant stay for our delegates in the capital city.

You can find more information on the official website of the

Congress: http://www.wapr2018madrid.com

Looking forward to sharing with you these fruitful days of science and participation Madrid.
