Global Systemic Therapy Summit

About this event

The Global Systemic Therapy Summit returns for its second year with an expanded purpose and global reach, now paired with the Summit on Nurturing Queer and Trans Futures to create a multi-day experience grounded in learning, connection, and advancing systemic mental health care. This event will take place at the Hilton Garden Inn Bengaluru Embassy Manyata Business Park in Bengaluru, India, and it aims to bring together systemic therapists from around the world, led by globally recognized experts in the field. Designed for meaningful engagement, the Summit features small, interactive sessions, facilitated discussions, and built-in networking opportunities alongside keynotes and shared meals that foster global dialogue and collaboration.The experience begins with the Summit on Nurturing Queer and Trans Futures, a dedicated gathering that centers on the intersection of systemic therapy and 2SLGBTQIA+ mental health. This convening prioritizes the voices of queer and trans systemic providers, particularly those from the global majority, and explores critical topics such as inclusive practice, global mental health experiences, culturally attuned supervision, and decolonial approaches. Additionally, the day will feature a collaborative session aimed at developing an International Manifesto on Queer and Trans Systemic Therapy, with a focus on intentionally centering queer and trans voices. Overall, these events create a focused, globally connected space for clinicians committed to advancing inclusive and culturally responsive systemic care.
