Dear Members, dear Colleagues,
This is my first message as President of the IAWMH. I am proud to lead an organization whose mission is to improve the mental health of women worldwide. The IAWMH has been active since 2001 and has organized 10 successful congresses across various countries. The latest Congress in Bangalore was a great success both in terms of attendance and scientific and experiential content. I would like to express my gratitude to Professor Prabha Chandra for organizing the congress and for her leadership over the past two years.
During the next two years of my presidency, which will culminate in the 11th Congress in Barcelona, I, along with the entire Board, look forward to continuing to work on the Society’s missions. In addition to improving the mental health of women globally, we aim to:
Expand the knowledge base on Women’s Mental Health,
Promote gender-sensitive and autonomy-enhancing mental health services for women,
Advance collaboration with other societies and sections.
We hope to achieve all of this with the collaboration of our members, and we also encourage more individuals to join as members of the Society.
For our growth, we invite you to reach out to me and the Board to share your concerns, activity proposals, and other initiatives. Together, we can continue to act as international advocates for Women’s Mental Health.
With my best personal wishes
Judith Usall i Rodié
