What an ending!🥹🙌

The Second International Rethinking Mental Health Care Conference in Colombo, Sri Lanka ended, but the ideas, connections, and collaborations built here will continue to drive change.

Some of the highlights

🔹 Innovation & Ethics in Digital Mental Health – Advancing telepsychiatry and digital tools while addressing ethical concerns and accessibility.

🔹 Strengthening Mental Health Systems – Exploring local and global challenges, new therapy approaches, and community-driven solutions.

🔹 Human Rights & Policy – Tackling stigma, integrating rights-based care, and preparing the next generation of mental health leaders.

🔹 Global Partnerships & Networking – Beyond discussions, this conference fostered new collaborations and strengthened international efforts to rethink mental health care together.

A deeply moving moment was the commemoration of Sally Hulugalle, founder of Nest Sri Lanka, a pioneering organization dedicated to mental health and community support.

The presence of Sri Lankan Prime Minister Dr. Harini Amarasuriya who humbly joined to honor her legacy, reinforced the need for compassionate leadership and action in mental health.
